Abstract:ObjectiveIdentifying microbial targets in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is challenged by dynamic microbiota-metabolite-host interactions. We aimed to assess microbial features associated with short chain fatty acids (SCFA) and determine if features were related to IBS symptoms, subtypes, and endophenotypes.DesignWe performed an observational study of stool microbial metagenomes, stool SCFA, and IBS traits (stool form, stool bile acids, and colonic transit) in patients with IBS (IBS with constipation [IBS-C] I… Show more
