Abstract

Intestinal microbiota (IM) diversity and composition regulates host immunity and affects outcomes after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). We evaluated if the oral mucosa microbiota (OM) could impact the outcomes in patients who underwent allo-HSCT. Samples from the oral mucosa of 30 patients were collected at three time points: before the conditioning regimen, at aplasia, and at engraftment. We analyzed the associations of OM diversity and composition with allo-HSCT outcomes. Lower OM diversity at preconditioning was associated with a higher risk of relapse at 3 years (68% versus 33%, respectively; P = 0.04). Dominance (relative abundance ≥ 30%) by a single genus at preconditioning was also associated with a higher risk of relapse (63% versus 36% at 3 years, respectively; P = 0.04), as well as worse progression-free survival (PFS; 19% versus 55%, respectively; P = 0.01), and overall survival (OS) at 3 years (38% versus 81%, respectively; P = 0.02). In our study we observed that OM dysbiosis is associated with a higher risk of relapse and worse survival after allo-HSCT.
