Brief Summary: The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the orointestinal microbiome and microbial derived metabolome in patients suffering from acute pancreatitis as a biomarker for severity The main questions it aims to answer are

Can the orointestinal microbiome robustly predict the course of acute pancreatitis
How does the microbiome impact the severity of an acute pancreatitis

Buccal rectal swabs plasma and stool is collected from patients with acute pancreatitis within 48h after hospital admission
Detailed Description: Despite intensive research early prediction of the course of acute pancreatitis AP is still not satisfactorily possible Results of a European multicenter study showed that the intestinal microbiome is superior to established scores as a marker of severity in patients with AP Hereby a classifier was established using 16 differentially abundant rectal species and systemic inflammatory response syndrome SIRS and achieved an AUROC of 85 Surprisingly all species in the severe AP group were members of taxonomic families known for their short-chain fatty acid SFCA production This observation contrasts with translational pancreatitis studies in mice Based on these publications a clinical trial is currently being initiated to treat severe AP with SCFA NCT06147635 However previous well-designed RCT that analyzed the effects of probiotics in predicted severe AP resulted in a worse outcome for patients in the probiotic arm Consequently national and international guidelines recommend against the usage of probiotics in AP

Collectively more research is needed to further elucidate the role of the oro-intestinal microbiota in the development of severe AP To validate the results of previously mentioned multicenter study and to profoundly analyze the role of microbial metabolites and the fungeome patients with AP will be prospectively recruited

1 Buccal and rectal swabs stool and plasma will be obtained to analyze the orointestinal microbiome and microbial derived metabolites
2 Centers from different continents with different ethical background and dietary habits will enroll patients to gain a more generalizable microbial profile
3 Microbial shifts were observed between severe AP RAC 3 and mild moderate severe RAC 12
4 It is expected that the microbial compositions change during the inflammatory process upon early phase of pancreatitis To minimize this microbial alternating effect a short time frame from hospital admission to recruitment 48h is set
