Article Synopsis
- Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common condition defined by chronic stomach pain and irregular bowel habits, potentially linked to visceral hypersensitivity caused by intestinal fungi.
- In IBS patients, there is an observed increase in certain fungi (like Candida albicans) but no significant diversity changes between different severity groups of IBS symptoms.
- Research highlights the importance of studying individual fungal strains in IBS to understand their specific roles, as certain strains show genomic variations and differences in growth and gene expression related to IBS symptoms.
