Conclusion Our results highlight the power of metagenomics to predict disease outcomes and suggest specific species and genes for experimental testing to investigate mechanisms of microbiome-related protection from cholera. SUMMARY Cholera infection and disease severity can be predicted using metagenomic sequencing of the gut microbiome pre-infection in a prospective cohort, and suggests potentially protective bacterial species and genes. Our metagenomic analysis yielded improved 85 outcome predictions compared to 16S rRNA sequencing, and identified bacterial genes 86 associated with remaining uninfected after exposure to V. Applied to the Midani 230 2018 cohort, this model predicted outcomes significantly better than random (shuffled labels) 231 using species, strains or pathway data, but not gene families ( Table 1 ; see Table S3 for p-232 values). ./cache/cord-103733-blam1f4c.txt ./txt/cord-103733-blam1f4c.txt
