The stool microbiology profile includes comprehensive bacteriology and yeast cultures to identify beneficial flora, imbalanced flora, including Clostridium species, and dysbiotic flora, as well as detection of infectious pathogens. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing of natural and prescription agents is also performed for appropriate bacterial and fungal species.
Why request a microbiology test?
The Microbiology profile examines the presence of microflora, both beneficial and imbalanced, including Clostridium species and dysbiotic flora, and detects infectious pathogens through comprehensive bacteriology and yeast cultures. Testing also includes antimicrobial susceptibility testing to prescription and natural agents for appropriate bacterial and fungal species.
