    Annotation Intestinal microbiota appears to be implicated in the pathogenesis of diverticular disease. We present the case of a patient with diverticular colon disease complicated by a pelvic abscess. During the successful surgical treatment, two specimens were taken from the resected colon segment for the microbiota analysis: an inflamed and perforated diverticulum and a diverticulum without signs of inflammation. Culturing and 16S rRNA gene sequencing revealed significant changes in the microbial community structure and composition associated with the acute inflammation and perforation of the colonic diverticulum. The characteristics that are usually associated with the inflammatory process in the gut, namely reduced microbial diversity and richness, decreased Firmicutes-to-Bacteroidetes (F/B) ratio, depletion of butyrate-producing bacteria, and Enterobacteriaceae blooming, were more pronounced in the non-inflamed diverticulum rather than in the adjacent inflamed and perforated one. This is the first study of the intraluminal microbiota of the diverticular pockets, which is more relevant to the etiology of diverticular disease than mucosa-associated microbiota via biopsies and luminal microbiota via fecal samples.
