The original version of this article unfortunately contained a mistake. In Table 2 we calculated the percentages presented for the stool microscopy and culture of B. hominis row wise rather than vertically in the column. As this was aimed to determine the distribution of B.hominis in IBS-D versus control group, we should have calculated the percentage column wise. However, percentages calculated row wise will not change the P value when calculated column wise. There was an error on our part that percentages presented for the stool microscopy and culture of B. hominis in the Table 2 should have been reported column wise. Please see amended Table 2.
