Effect of a multispecies probiotic supplement on quantity of irritable bowel syndrome-related intestinal microbial phylotypes
BMC gastroenterology ·doi:10.1186/1471-230x-10-110

BACKGROUND: Probiotics can alleviate the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), possibly by stabilizing the intestinal microbiota. Our aim was to determine whether IBS-associated bacterial alterations were reduced during multispecies p…

Diarrhoea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome distinguishable by 16S rRNA gene phylotype quantification
World journal of gastroenterology ·doi:10.3748/wjg.15.5936

AIM: To study whether selected bacterial 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene phylotypes are capable of distinguishing irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). METHODS: The faecal microbiota of twenty volunteers with IBS, subdivided into eight diarrhoea-p…

Elevated pro-inflammatory and lipotoxic mucosal lipids characterise irritable bowel syndrome
World journal of gastroenterology ·doi:10.3748/wjg.15.6068

AIM: To investigate the pathophysiology of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) by comparing the global mucosal metabolic profiles of IBS patients with those of healthy controls. METHODS: Fifteen IBS patients fulfilling the Rome II criteria, and…

Microbial community analysis reveals high level phylogenetic alterations in the overall gastrointestinal microbiota of diarrhoea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome sufferers
BMC gastroenterology ·doi:10.1186/1471-230x-9-95

BACKGROUND: A growing amount of scientific evidence suggests that microbes are involved in the aetiology of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and the gastrointestinal (GI) microbiota of individuals suffering from diarrhoea-predominant IBS (IB…
