Abstract: The present invention relates to an in vitro method, for predicting a risk of onset of type 2 diabetes in a subject, which method comprises the steps of: a) measuring the concentration of bacterial 16S rDNA in a biological sample of said subject; and b) comparing said measured concentration of bacterial 16S rDNA to a threshold level; wherein a measured concentration of bacterial 16S rDNA higher than the threshold level is indicative of an increased risk of onset of type 2 diabetes in the subject, and a measured concentration of bacterial 16S rDNA lower than the threshold level is indicative of a decreased risk of onset of type 2 diabetes in the subject.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of the bacterial flora for vaccine development, identification of therapeutic targets and prediction and/or diagnosis of metabolic diseases, such as diabetes, overweight and obesity, and their cardiovascular complications. In particular, the present invention provides immunogenic or vaccinal composition for preventing metabolic diseases and cardiovascular complications using attenuated or inactivated bacterial flora, or antigens derived thereof. The present invention also provides methods for identifying prognostic markers for metabolic diseases onset and cardiovascular complications and methods for in vitro prognosis of metabolic diseases and cardiovascular complications using bacterial flora.
