By analyzing the gut metagenomic profiles of 264 IBS and 66 HC from the discovery cohort, we identified 33 differentially abundant gut microbiota species, with 23 enriched in IBS and 10 enriched in HC. a Differentially abundant gut microbiota species and their belonging taxon at the family level. The X-axis labels “# Species” represent the number of differentially abundant species, and the Y-axis represents the belonging taxon at the family level. Species that enriched in IBS and IBS subtypes are shown in red, whereas species that enriched in HC are shown in blue. b An example of differentially abundant pathways between IBS and HC, annotated by their taxonomic contributors. The Y-axis represents the relative abundance of MetaCyc pathway, while the X-axis represents ordered individuals from the 330-member discovery cohort.
