reporting semi-quantitative +1 to +4 levels, the new methodology provides full quantitative analysis. Facultative anaerobes Predominant Bacteria play major roles in
health. They provide colonization resistance
against potentially pathogenic organisms, aid in
digestion and absorption, produce vitamins and
SCFA's, and stimulate the GI immune system. DNA probes allow detection of multiple species (sp.) within a genus, so the genera that are reported cover many species. Obligate aerobes Opportunistic Bacteria
2.8E+008 H Opportunistic Bacteria may cause symptoms and be associated with disease. They can affect digestion and absorption, nutrient production, pH and immune state. Antibiotic sensitivity tests will be performed on all opportunistic bacteria found, although clinical history is usually considered to determine treatment since the organisms are not generally considered to be Accession Number: A1003240302 Reference Number: 2105 Microbial Ecology Profile Methodology: DNA Analysis, GC/MS, Microscopic,Colorimetric, Automated Chemistry, ELISA Pathogenic Bacteria

Positives are reported as +1, +2, +3 or +4 indicating >100, >1000, >10000 or >100000 pg DNA/g. Parasites Parasites Positive
Parasite infections are a major cause of
non-viral diarrhea. Symptoms may include

constipation, gas, bloating, increased allergy response, colitis, nausea and distention. Adiposity Index
The Adiposity Index is derived by using DN
probes that detect multiple genera of the phyla Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes. Abnormalities of
these phyla may be associated with increased caloric extraction from food. Drug Resistance Genes
These test results are not for the diagnosis of disease. They are intended to provide nutritional guidelines to qualified healthcare professionals with full knowledge of patient history and concerns to assist in their design of an appropriate healthcare program.

Bacterial growth suppression is measured in a
liquid growth medium where fungal growth is
suppressed and specific antibacterial agents are introduced before incubation. In contrast to the olde
isolation and culture techniques, such universal
culturing more closely approximates the actions of antibacterials in the complex milieu of the colon.
Agents marked as "Sensitive" cause effective
bacterial growth suppression. Those antibacterial
agents are candidates for suppressing the growth o
bacteria in the patient's colon. The results apply to all organisms reported under "Opportunistic Bacteria".
Agents indicated as "Resistant" have low
effectiveness. If all tested agents are resistant,
synergistic mixtures of antibacterial agents may be effective. Agents indicated as "Resistant" have low
effectiveness. If all tested agents are resistant, synergistic mixtures of antibacterial agents may be effective.

Fungal growth suppression is measured in a
liquid growth medium where bacterial growth is
suppressed and specific antifungal agents are introduced before incubation. Gowth inhibition is
measured after incubation. In contrast to the older
isolation and culture techniques, such universal culturing more closely approximates the actions of
antifungals in the complex milieu of the colon. Botanicals
Agents marked as "Sensitive" cause effective
fungal growth suppression. Those antifungal agent
are candidates for suppressing the growth of fungi
and yeasts in the patient's colon. The results apply
to all organisms reported under "Yeast/Fungi".
Agents indicated as "Resistant" have low
effectiveness and can increase the risk of inducing drug resistant organisms. If all tested agents are
