Gastrointestinal Infection Testing
This test analyzes the genetic material (DNA) of pathogens that may be found in the gastrointestinal tract—such as bacteria, viruses, and yeast—which are common causes of diarrhea, enteritis, or other gastrointestinal symptoms.
How do these infections occur?
- Consuming food or water contaminated with pathogens
- Contact with contaminated objects, surfaces, or equipment
- Direct contact with infected individuals
- Individuals with weakened immune systems are at higher risk
Why should you get tested?
- To identify the cause of abnormal symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting, or abdominal pain
- For diagnosis or screening of infections that could worsen or spread
- To guide accurate and targeted treatment
- To support clinical diagnosis by a physician
Our Testing Technology
- PCR Hybridization on DNA Microarray Chip
- More than 98% accuracy
- Uses probes to directly detect genetic sequences of pathogens
- Capable of detecting even small amounts of pathogens in the sample
- Accepts samples from Rectal swab or Stool
