The literature has frequently focused attention on the correlation between the gut microbiota imbalance and CRC. The genera Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium have recently received increasing attention because of their potential in restoring alterations in the gut microflora. Therefore, this study aimed to quantitatively evaluate the presence of lactobacilli and bifidobacterial strains in the fecal samples of CRC patients compared to healthy volunteers.  \nMethods  \nFrom 2018 to 2019, 25 confirmed CRC patients and 25 age-and gender-matched control subjects were enrolled in the study. Bacterial DNA was extracted from the fecal samples and the presence of lactobacilli and bifidobacterial strains were quantitatively determined using quantitative real-time PCR using genus-specific 16S rDNA primers.  \nResults  \nA significant decline in the abundance of bifidobacteria in CRC patients compared to healthy individuals (p value\u003C0.003) was observed; however, no significant difference was observed between the two groups regarding the abundance of lactobacilli (p value\u003C0. 163) . Correlation analysis showed a positive association between the lack of genetic history of CRC and the numbers of gut bifidobacteria and lactobacilli.  \nPLOS ONE | [https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0294053](https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0294053) November 27, 2024 1 / 17  \nCompeting interests: The authors have declared that no competing intere","cbCaitsfbjmnQNFX","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitsfbjmnQNFX","pdf",1083808,17,"English","# Abstract\n## Background\n## Methods\n## Results\n## Conclusion\n# Introduction\n# Materials and Methods\n# Results\n# Discussion\n# Conclusion","[{\"question\":\"What was the study’s goal regarding gut microbiota?\",\"answer\":\"To quantitatively evaluate lactobacilli and bifidobacterial strains in fecal samples from colorectal cancer patients compared with healthy volunteers.\"},{\"question\":\"How were lactobacilli and bifidobacteria measured?\",\"answer\":\"Bacterial DNA was extracted from fecal samples and quantified using quantitative real-time PCR with genus-specific 16S rDNA primers.\"},{\"question\":\"What were the key findings about Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus?\",\"answer\":\"Bifidobacteria abundance significantly declined in CRC patients, while lactobacilli abundance showed no significant difference between CRC and healthy groups.
