Abstract
Microbial community varied from one site to another along the gastrointestinal tract, but current studies about intestinal microbial community in IBS-D were mainly based on fecal samples. Based on 283 intestinal samples collected from DM, DL, RM, and RL of HC and IBS-D, we found different intestinal sites had their site-specific microbial patterns in IBS-D.
