Changes in the gut microbiota have been associated with two of the most common gastrointestinal diseases, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Here, we performed a case-control analysis using shotgun metagenomic sequencing of stool samples from 1792 individuals with IBD and IBS compared with control individuals in the general population. Despite substantial overlap between the gut microbiome of patients with IBD and IBS compared with control individuals, we were able to use gut microbiota composition differences to distinguish patients with IBD from those with IBS. By combining species-level profiles and strain-level profiles with bacterial growth rates, metabolic functions, antibiotic resistance, and virulence factor analyses, we identified key bacterial species that may be involved in two common gastrointestinal diseases.

The significant increase (35-67%) of sales of probiotics requires an analysis of the justification for this use in relation to the evidence supported studies. EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) supports their efficiency potential, but warns that they are insufficient proven cause-effect relationship yet. Recommendation of these preparations are made for: gastroenteritis, diarrhea associated with antibiotics, lactose intolerance, atopy in children, atopic dermatitis, inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, necrotizing enterocolitis, bacterial vaginosis, as an adjuvant in dyslipidemia, gastroduodenitis with Helicobacter pylori. According to records of current research results they are needed new data from the main regulatory agencies (FDA and EFSA) to guide treatment recommendations for probiotics.
