In the era of microbiome research, we are beginning to see that our gut microbiome has more control over our health than we ever knew. Genova's Commitment to Innovation Brings You a New Way to Assess the Microbiome Microbiomix complements the information provided on the GI Effects. Microbiomix offers metagenomic shotgun/ whole genome sequencing to assess your patient's complete gut microbiome as well as its potential function.Clostridium difficile (not available for patients For high suspicion, a three-day sample collection is optimal. If there is no/low suspicion, a one-day sample will likely be adequate. Selection of a one-day or three-day sample collection is based on the clinician's clinical index of suspicion for parasitic infection.

PCR for organisms is emerging as a highly sensitive method for infectious organism detection.

6 Real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) targets detect common protozoal parasites including Blastocystis spp., Cryptosporidium parvum/hominis, Cyclospora cayetanensis, Dientamoeba fragilis, Entamoeba histolytica, and Giardia.

GI Effects provides microscopic fecal specimen examination for ova and parasites (O&P), the gold standard of diagnosis for many parasites.

Parasitology includes comprehensive testing for all parasites on every parasitology exam ordered.

The report includes effective prescriptive and natural agents.

Bacterial and mycology sensitivities are provided for pathogenic or potentially pathogenic organisms that have been cultured.

Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) technology is used for limitless bacterial and fungal species identification via culture.

Bacterial and mycology cultures demonstrate the presence of specific beneficial and pathogenic organisms.

Comprehensive microbiome analysis included.

16S rRNA gene polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) amplification technique.

GI Effects assesses a set of 24 genera/species that map to 7 major phyla.

More than 95% of commensal gut organisms are anaerobic and are difficult to recover by traditional (aerobic) culture techniques.

Commensal Bacteria demonstrate the composition, abundance and patterns of gut organisms.

Metabolic indicators, including short-chain fatty acids and beta-glucuronidase, demonstrate specific and vital metabolic functions performed by the microbiota.Genova is the first laboratory to introduce an Inflammation-Associated Dysbiosis score and a Methane Dysbiosis score by incorporating our latest, published microbiome data analysis.Fecal Occult Blood Test detects hidden blood fecal immunochemical testing (FIT) has been recommended by the American College of Gastroenterology as the preferred noninvasive test for colorectal cancer screening/detection.Fecal Secretory IgA is a marker of gut secretory immunity and barrier function.Eosinophil Protein X is a marker of eosinophil-driven inflammation and allergic response.Produced in abundance at sites of inflammation, this biomarker has been proven clinically useful in differentiating between Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Calprotectin is a marker of neutrophil-driven inflammation.Fecal Fat is a marker of fat breakdown and absorption.Products of Protein Breakdown are markers of undigested protein reaching the colon.Pancreatic Elastase-1 is a marker of exocrine pancreatic function.The biomarkers on the GI Effects Comprehensive Profile (2200) reflect the 3 key functions of gut health arranged in the “DIG” format: Digestion/Absorption, Inflammation/ Immunology, and the Gut Microbiome: Digestion/Absorption:
