Zusammenfassung: | Background
Dysbiosis may play a role in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), hitherto an enigmatic disorder. We evaluated selected fecal microbes in IBS patients and healthy controls (HC).
Methods
Fecal 16S rRNA copy number of selected bacteria was studied using qPCR in 47 patients with IBS (Rome III) and 30 HC.
Results
Of 47 patients, 20 had constipation (IBS-C), 20 diarrhea (IBS-D), and seven unclassified IBS (IBS-U). Relative difference in 16S rRNA copy number of
Bifidobacterium
(
P
= 0.042) was lower, while those of
Ruminococcus productus
-
Clostridium coccoides
(
P
= 0.016),
Veillonella
(
P
= 0.008),
Bacteroides thetaiotamicron
