Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Side effects, laboratory measurements, functional assays and microbiota composition.
1. Side effects will be registered using a graded scale;
2. A HITchip (16S rRNA) analysis to determine microbiome composition;
3. Laboratory measurements: include inflammatory markers, neutrophil activation and -degranulation;
4. Functional assays: ex vivo stimulation of blood cells with nosocomial pathogens.
Secondary outcome
N/A
Background summary
Objective:
To investigate the role of the gut microbiota in the systemic priming of immune effector cells.
Study design:
Within-subject-controlled intervention study in human volunteers.
Study population:
Twelve healthy male subjects, 18-35 years of age.
Intervention:
All subjects will be treated with broad spectrum antibiotics (ciprofloxacin, vancomycin, metronidazole) for seven days, in order to deplete the gut microbiota. Blood and faeces will be sampled before, 24 hours and 6 weeks after the 7-day period of antibiotics.
Main study endpoints:
Laboratory parameters for inflammatory responses, functional assays (ex vivo stimulation assay) and gut microbiota composition.
Study objective
Depletion of the gut microbiota by antibiotics leads to accelerated immunosuppression during sepsis, caused by decreased release of microorganism associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) and other microbiota derived products into the circulation and diminished priming of bone marrow neutrophils.
Study design
T=0, day 8, week 7.
Intervention
All volunteers will self-administer the following antibiotics for 7 consecutive days (concomitantly):
1. Vancomycin 250mg 3dd2;
2. Ciprofloxacin 500mg 2dd1;
3. Metronidazol 500mg 3dd1.
