{"title":"Microbiome 360° Vaginal Analysis","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe vaginal microbiome is one of the least diverse and most tightly organised microbial communities in the body. In most people it is dominated by a small number of \u003cem\u003eLactobacillus\u003c\/em\u003e species that acidify the environment and hold their ground. When that dominance shifts, the whole ecology shifts with it, which is why composition is worth looking at properly rather than one marker at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMicrobiome 360° Vaginal\u003c\/strong\u003e analyses that community with shotgun metagenomic sequencing. Instead of a PCR panel that looks for a fixed list of organisms, or a 16S test that reads a single marker gene and usually stops at genus level, we read the DNA of the whole community. That is what makes species level resolution possible, so \u003cem\u003eLactobacillus crispatus\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eLactobacillus iners\u003c\/em\u003e are told apart rather than counted together, and it is what allows gene based functional panels such as sialidase and D lactic acid potential alongside fungal detection in the same run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour report gives you a Community State Type, a Vaginal Protection Index, a species level Lactobacillus profile, functional and acidification potentials, health associated patterns for BV, yeasts, aerobic and opportunistic organisms and urogenital colonization, and detection only screening. It is written to be read by you and discussed with your doctor. It is not a diagnosis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSampling takes a few minutes at home.
