Several studies suggested that dysbacteriosis usually happened in patients with intestinal failure (IF). However, differences of microbiota diversity in small intestine stoma effluents and colonic faeces were rarely studies. Thus this study is aimed to investigate the microbiota compositions and differences of output of small intestine stoma and colon in pediatric IF patients. Fecal samples from IF patients. Each patient received fistula closure in our centre and fecal samples from both small intestinal stoma and colon were collected. Fecal microbial compositions were determined by high-throughput sequencing.

Microbiota diversity and composition clarified by 16s rRNA sequencing
Timeframe: 1)Samples collection: one day before patients are discharged from hospital; 2)DNA extraction: within one week after samples collection; 3)Sequencing and data analyzing: within one month after DNA extract
