GI360 Essentials

The Essentials Stool Turn Around Time: 18 Days
Recommended: Contact practitioner before placing order
Turn Around Time: 18 Days

Description

The GI360 Essentials Profile is an excellent follow-up test to the GI360 Complete. It’s an innovative, comprehensive and clinically applicable stool profile, utilising multiplex PCR molecular technology coupled with growth-based culture and ID by MALDI-TOF, sensitive biochemical assays and microscopy to detect and assess the status of pathogens, viruses, parasites and bacteria that may be contributing to acute or chronic gastrointestinal symptoms and disease. Microbiome Abundance and Diversity is a gut microbiota DNA analysis tool that identifies and characterises the abundance and diversity of more than 45 targeted analytes that peer-reviewed research has shown to contribute to dysbiosis and other chronic disease states. The GI360™ Essentials can identify the presence of pathogenic viruses, bacteria, and parasites using multiplexed, real-time PCR. Viruses are the primary cause of acute diarrhoea, and the least commonly tested. The identification of pathogenic bacteria, viruses and parasites improves treatment strategies and patient outcomes. The Dysbiosis Index (DI) is a calculation with scores from 1 to 5 based on the overall bacterial abundance and profile within the patient's sample as compared to a reference population. Values above 2 indicate a microbiota profile that differs from the defined normobiotic reference population (i.e., dysbiosis). The higher the DI above 2, the more the sample is considered to deviate from normobiosis.

The GI360 Essentials Profile provides a cost-effective option when monitoring specific aspects of the full GI360 report.

Methodology

The GI360™ Essentials can identify the presence of pathogenic viruses, bacteria, and parasites using multiplexed, real-time PCR.

When should I use

For a more thorough understanding of the underlying factors in digestive symptoms, the GI360 Essentials Profile is recommended as a follow-up assessment to the GI360 Complete. It tests the dysbiosis index, based on PCR assessment of commensal bacteria and was devised using the ROME criteria for IBS, as well as bacteria associated with IBD. This profile is indicated for gastrointestinal symptoms, autoimmune diseases, joint pain, IBD, IBS, inflammation, food sensitivities, nutritional deficiencies, and skin conditions.
