Analysis of similarity test for global community composition
| Global Test (R) | P | |
|---|---|---|
| Feces: D-IBS patients (n = 16) vs. healthy controls (n = 21) | 0.04 | 0.15 |
| Mucosa: D-IBS patients (n = 16) vs. healthy controls (n = 21) | −0.02 | 70.8 |
| D-IBS patients: feces (n = 16) vs. mucosa (n = 16) | 0.22 | 0.001* |
| Healthy controls: feces (n = 21) vs. mucosa (n = 21) | 0.41 | 0.001* |
