GI - Advanced Microbiome Profile Test

FORMALLY ADVANCED MICROBIOME MAPPING AMM

In the last few decades, DNA analysis has transformed the field of microbiology and gut health testing. The Human Microbiome Project and global research have characterized the GI microbiome. More than ever, we are keenly aware of the health benefits and disease risks brought about by the microorganisms inhabiting the GI tract.
The GI – Advanced Microbiome Profile was designed to assess a patient’s microbiome from a single stool sample, with particular attention to microbes that cause disease or disrupt normal microbial balance and contribute to perturbations in the GI flora and contribute to illness.
The panel is a comprehensive collection of microbial targets as well as immune and digestive markers. It screens for pathogenic bacteria, commensal bacteria, opportunistic pathogens, fungi, viruses, and parasites.
 
The Advanced CMM test is performed in duplicate via two methodologies: PCR and Culture via MALDI-TOF
It includes sensitivity testing performed for natural and routine antibiotics.
