Quantitative small bowel culture does not reflect small bowel microbial composition. Distribution of microbial communities from symptomatic patients (blue) with and without SIBO based on Aitchison distance from healthy microbial communities (red). SIBO does not correlate with microbial community composition as summarized by dysbiosis classification (p = 0.33, Fisher’s exact test). Open circles represent small bowel microbiomes from individuals who tested negative for SIBO; closed circles represent those tested positive for SIBO by aspirate culture
