IMO is named differently from methane SIBO because methanogens colonize both the small intestine and colon. Counts of Proteus mirabilis, Desulfovibrio, and Fusobacterium are reported to correlate with hydrogen sulfide breath-test levels. IBS-D microbiome findings from Cork are presented as matching the SIBO and ISO profiles. ISO is the hydrogen-sulfide-dominant subtype and presents with diarrhea, pain, and urgency. Methanobrevibacter smithii is described as the dominant organism in IMO.
