Oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV) is less immunogenic in LMIC countries. We tested whether bacterial and viral components of the intestinal microbiota are associated with this phenomenon.
We assessed prevalence of enteropathogens using TaqMan array cards 14 days before and at vaccination in 704 Indian infants (6-11 months) receiving monovalent type3 OPV (CTRI/2014/05/004588). Non-polio enterovirus (NPEV) serotypes were identified by VP1 sequencing. In 120 infants, pre-vaccination bacterial microbiota was characterised by 16S rRNA sequencing.
We detected 56 NPEV serotypes on the day of vaccination. Concurrent NPEVs were associated with a reduction in OPV seroconversion, consistent across species (odds ratios and 95% CIs of 0·57[0·36-0·90], 0·61[0·43-0·86], and 0·69[0·41-1·16] for species A, B, and C, respectively). Recently acquired enterovirus infections,detected at vaccination, but not 14 days earlier had greater interfering effect on mOPV3 sero-response compared to persistent infections,with enterovirus detected at both time points (44/127[35%] vs 63/129[49%] seroconversion,p=0.021). Abundance of specific bacterial taxa did not differ significantly according to OPV response, although microbiota diversity was higher in non-responders at the time of vaccination.
Enteric viruses have greater impact on OPV response than the bacterial microbiota with recent enterovirus infections having greater inhibitory effect than persistent infections.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 15. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 29 August 2020.
All research outputs
#3,285,985
of 34,400,738 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Infectious Diseases
#3,178
of 18,989 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#49,817
of 381,749 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Infectious Diseases
#34
of 138 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,400,738 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 90th percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 18,989 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 17.0. This one has done well, scoring higher than 83% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 381,749 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 86% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 138 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 75% of its contemporaries.
