TL;DR: The present document has been written by a group of both academic and industry experts and aims to validate and expand the original idea of the prebiotic concept, defined as the selective stimulation of growth and/or activity of one or a limited number of microbial genus(era)/species in the gut microbiota that confer(s) health benefits to the host.
The first 1000 cultured species of the human gastrointestinal microbiota
TL;DR: This review provides a systematic overview and detailed references of the total of 1057 intestinal species of Eukarya, Archaea and Bacteria based on the phylogenetic framework of their small subunit ribosomal RNA gene sequences and unifies knowledge about the prevalence, abundance, stability, physiology, genetics and the association with human health of these gastrointestinal microorganisms.

Global and Deep Molecular Analysis of Microbiota Signatures in Fecal Samples From Patients With Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Mirjana Rajilić–Stojanović,Mirjana Rajilić–Stojanović,Elena Biagi,Hans G.H.J. Heilig,Kajsa Kajander,Riina A. Kekkonen,Sebastian Tims,Willem M. de Vos,Willem M. de Vos +8 more
TL;DR: Global and deep molecular analysis of fecal samples indicates that patients with IBS have a different composition of microbiota, and correlation analysis of the microbial groups indicated the involvement of several groups of Firmicutes and Proteobacteria in the pathogenesis of IBS.

Normalization of Lactulose Breath Testing Correlates With Symptom Improvement in Irritable Bowel Syndrome: A Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Study
TL;DR: Normalization of LBT with neomycin leads to a significant reduction in IBS symptoms, and the type of gas seen on LBT is also associated with IBS subgroup.

A controlled, double-blind, randomized study on the efficacy of Lactobacillus plantarum 299V in patients with irritable bowel syndrome
TL;DR: LP299V seems to have a beneficial effect in patients with IBS, and further studies on larger cohorts of patients and with longer duration of therapy are required in order to establish the place of L. plantarum in the treatment of IBS.

Does the microbiota regulate immune responses outside the gut
TL;DR: The post-developmental functions that the microbiota plays in regulating immunological tolerance to allergen exposure outside the GI tract are covered and the question: is the microbiota a major regulator of the immune system?

Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth: A Framework for Understanding Irritable Bowel Syndrome
TL;DR: The gastrointestinal and immune effects of SIBO provide a possible unifying framework for understanding frequent observations in IBS, including postprandial bloating and distension, altered motility, visceral hypersensitivity, abnormal brain-gut interaction, autonomic dysfunction, and immune activation.
