Our study, addressing microbiome dynamics, demonstrated relevant changes after surgical manipulation. Alpha-diversity analyses indicated that surgery deeply affects microbiome composition. Proteobacteria and Enterobacteriaceae seem to play a pivotal role in HAEC occurrences. Several virulence factors, such as fimbriae or pili, might explain the HAEC-predisposing potential of selected microbiomes. These results suggest some innovative therapeutic approaches that deserve to be tested in appropriate clinical trials.
