Gut Microbiome Plus Stool Test

For the detection and assessment of the entire intestinal microbiome.

The intestinal microbiome refers to the totality of microorganisms present in the gut. This has a decisive effect on the well-being and health of humans. If there is an imbalance in the intestinal microbiome, this can be associated with various diseases, as numerous studies have shown. These include metabolic syndrome, diabetes, inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, bowel cancer, calcium oxalate urinary stones, cardiovascular diseases, rheumatoid arthritis and neurological disorders.

The analysis of the intestinal microbiome is carried out using DNA sequencing (next-generation sequencing). This enables the detection of almost all bacteria known to date. By means of DNA sequencing, the effects of the individual highly complex microbiota on colonisation resistance, digestive processes, absorption of nutrients and vitamins as well as on immunity can be assessed more precisely. This test procedure is molecular-biological, which means that even anaerobic bacteria that cannot be cultured are detected at the highest technical level.

This test also contains the parameters of the intestinal health check including zonulin in the stool. The gut health check includes the examination of the flora status, the assessment of digestive performance and capacity as well as the condition and function of the intestinal mucosa and the gut-associated immune system.

The molecular genetic examination includes the

• Analysis of the species diversity of the intestinal microbiome (diversity)
• Statement on bacterial dysbiosis
• Determination of the enterotype
• Frequency distribution of the most important bacterial strains
• Determination of the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio
• Assessment of the mucosaprotective flora
• Analysis of risk factors for dysbiosis-associated diseases

The microbiological examination includes the analysis of the following parameters:

• Analysis of aerobic and anaerobic guide germs
• Moulds
• yeasts (Candida albicans and Candida spp.)
• quantitative examination for digestive residues
• α-1-antitrypsin
• Calprotectin
• Bile acid
• Pancreatic elastase
• secretory IgA
• Zonulin in stool

How does the ordering process work?

The link"To the article" will take you to the manufacturer's website where you can purchase the product. After you have placed your order, Medivere will send you the desired test package with detailed instructions. You put your sample into a tube and send it in a prepared envelope to Medivere's partner laboratory, GANZIMMUN DIAGNOSTICS AG.
