Fecal microbial community could not fully represent the intestinal microbial community. However, most studies analyzing diarrhea-dominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D) were mainly based on fecal samples. We aimed to characterize the IBS-D microbial community patterns using samples at multiple intestinal sites. This study recruited 74 IBS-D patients and 20 healthy controls (HC). 22.34%, 8.51%, 14.89%, and 54.26% of them contributed to one, two, three, and four sites: duodenal mucosa (DM), duodenal lumen (DL), rectal mucosa (RM), and rectal lumen (RL) of intestinal samples, respectively. Then 16S rRNA gene analysis was performed on these 283 samples. The result showed that IBS-D microbial communities have specific patterns at each intestinal site differing from that of HC. Across hosts and sites, Bacillus, Burkholderia, and Faecalibacterium were the representative genera in duodenum of IBS-D, duodenum of HC, and rectum of HC, respectively. Samples from mucosa and lumen in rectum were highly distinguishable, regardless of IBS-D and HC. Additionally, IBS-D patients have lower microbial co-abundance network connectivity. Moreover, RM site-specific biomarker: Bacteroides used alone or together with Prevotella and Oscillospira in RM showed outstanding performance in IBS-D diagnosis. Furthermore, Bacteroides and Prevotella in RM were strongly related to the severity of abdominal pain, abdominal discomfort, and bloating in IBS-D patients. In summary, this study also confirmed fecal microbial community could not fully characterize intestinal microbial communities. Among these site-specific microbial communities, RM microbial community would be more applicable in the diagnosis of IBS-D. IMPORTANCE Microbial community varied from one site to another along the gastrointestinal tract, but current studies about intestinal microbial community in IBS-D were mainly based on fecal samples. Based on 283 intestinal samples collected from DM, DL, RM, and RL of HC and IBS-D, we found different intestinal sites had their site-specific microbial patterns in IBS-D. Notably, RM site-specific microbes Bacteroides, Prevotella, and Oscillospira could be used to discriminate IBS-D from HC accurately. Our findings could help clinicians realize the great potential of the intestinal microbial community in RM for better diagnosis of IBS-D patients.
