GI360 Comprehensive Stool Profile [GI3]

The GI360 Profile is an innovative, comprehensive, and clinically-applicable stool profile, utilising multiplex PCR molecular technology coupled with growth-based culture and ID by MALDI-TOF, sensitive biochemical assays and microscopy to detect and assess the status of pathogens, viruses, parasites and bacteria that may be contributing to acute or chronic gastrointestinal symptoms and disease.

Microbiome Abundance and Diversity: The GI360 Profile is a gut microbiota DNA analysis tool that identifies and characterises the abundance and diversity of more than 45 targeted analytes that peer-reviewed research has shown to contribute to dysbiosis and other chronic disease states.

The GI360 can identify the presence of pathogenic viruses, bacteria, and parasites using multiplexed, real-time PCR. Viruses are the primary cause of acute diarrhoea, and the least commonly tested. The identification of pathogenic bacteria, viruses, and parasites improves treatment strategies and patient outcomes.

The results of the test will give you a Dysbiosis Index.

The Dysbiosis Index (DI) is a calculation with scores from 1 to 5 based on the overall bacterial abundance and profile within the patient’s sample as compared to a reference population. Values above 2 indicate a microbiota profile that differs from the defined normobiotic reference population (i.e., dysbiosis). The higher the DI is above 2, the more the sample is considered to deviate from normobiosis.

Additional stool chemistry markers are included to assess digestive efficiency, inflammation, and resulting pathology and short-chain fatty acid levels reflecting fermentation of fibre.

Samples are referred to Doctor’s Data Inc. for analysis.

Test results with a full report will be emailed to you with recommendations to improve your gut health.
