2011
Real-time PCR analysis of enteric pathogens from fecal samples of irritable bowel syndrome subjects.
Gut pathogens ·doi:10.1186/1757-4749-3-6

BackgroundGrowing amount of scientific evidence suggests that microbes are involved in the pathophysiology of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The predominant fecal microbiota composition of IBS subjects has been widely studied with DNA-base…

2010
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

BackgroundProbiotics 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 pro…

2009
Diarrhoea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome distinguishable by 16S rRNA gene phylotype quantification.
World journal of gastroenterology ·doi:10.3748/wjg.15.5936

AimTo study whether selected bacterial 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene phylotypes are capable of distinguishing irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).MethodsThe faecal microbiota of twenty volunteers with IBS, subdivided into eight diarrhoea-predomi…

2009
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

BackgroundA 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 (IBS-…

2009
Sequence analysis of percent G+C fraction libraries of human faecal bacterial DNA reveals a high number of Actinobacteria.
BMC microbiology ·doi:10.1186/1471-2180-9-68

BackgroundThe human gastrointestinal (GI) tract microbiota is characterised by an abundance of uncultured bacteria most often assigned in phyla Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes. Diversity of this microbiota, even though approached with culture …
