Objectives: After allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT), urinary levels of 3-indoxyl sulfate (3-IS) correlate with the relative abundance of bacteria from the class Clostridia (RAC), and antibiotic treatment is considered the major determinant of this outcome. A high RAC has been associated with favorable outcome after allo-HCT and protection from Clostridium difficile infection (CDI). We assessed correlations between alpha diversity, RAC and urinary 3-IS levels in a non-allo-HCT clinical cohort of antibiotic treated patients to further explore 3-IS as a biomarker of reduced diversity and predisposition to CDI. Methods: Fecal and urinary specimens were analyzed from 40 non-alto-HCT hospitalized patients before and 9 +/- 2 days after initiation of intravenous antibiotic treatment. Fecal microbiota were analyzed by 16s RNA sequencing and urinary 3-IS was analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was performed to assess the predictive value of 3-IS. Results: At a RAC cutoff of <30%, the binary logarithm of 3-IS (medium 3-IS: <= 2.5; high 3-IS: >2.5) was predictive with an accuracy of 82% (negative predictive value: 87%, positive predictive value 67%). Accuracy was improved by combing antibiotic history with 3-IS levels (accuracy 89%, npv 88%, ppv 92%). Conclusion: In conjunction with patient antibiotic history, 3-IS is a candidate marker to predict RAC.
