Objective: The main objective of this study was to describe the prevalence of 6 common Gut Microbiota (GM) bacterial genera and 7 bacterial phyla in stool samples from children under 5 years of age with acute infective gastroenteritis (AIG), as well as to describe clinical and demographic features from our study population. Materials and methods: we analyzed the data from the database of a previous study, where the samples were obtained from a cross-sectional study in children under 5 years of age, hospitalized due to an acute infective gastroenteritis (AIG) at “Hospital Docente Regional de Cajamarca”, in rural Northern Peru. Quantitative variables were described as frequencies and percentages for each group using the GraphPad Prism3 statistical (Graph Pad Software Inc., San Diego, USA). Results: The most commonly isolated bacteria from the GM were Firmicutes (74/117) Bacteriodetes (73/117), Lactobacillus (70/117), Prevotella (67/117), Proteobacterium (63/117), regardless of the etiological agent responsible for the AIG. Interestingly, despite the high prevalence of Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, Lactobacillus, and Prevotella across all samples, patients with a single bacterial infection, or even bacteria – bacteria coinfections when compared to viral etiologies, showed a visible reduction of these agents. Patients with exclusive or mixed breastfeeding registered the highest amount of gut microbiota bacteria, in contrast to infants who received formula or were not breastfed. Conclusions: Although in this study only the detection of some pathogenic bacteria was performed by a qualitative method, it should be taken into account that there are notable changes in the intestinal microbiota, whether it is carried out with a viral or bacterial infection.
