Method: Shotgun metagenomic sequencing (CLIA 21D2062464); not cleared or approved by the FDA. Results reflect relative microbial abundance for wellness education purposes. Not intended to diagnose or treat disease and not a substitute for clinical consultation. Microbial associations are based on emerging scientific research and may change over time.
A derived biomarker is a value that is calculated from other directly measured biomarkers rather than being measured directly in the lab.
Key benefits of Campylobacter testing
- Foodborne pathogen monitoring
- poultry and contaminated water exposure marker
What is Campylobacter?
Campylobacter is the most common bacterial cause of foodborne gastroenteritis globally. It is primarily acquired through undercooked poultry, contaminated water, and unpasteurized dairy. Detected by shotgun metagenomic sequencing of stool.
Why is Campylobacter important?
Campylobacter causes acute gastroenteritis but may also persist at low levels in some individuals. Detection in a gut microbiome test may reflect recent exposure, asymptomatic carriage, or resolving infection. It is one of the leading foodborne pathogens in the US.
What insights will I get?
Any detection of Campylobacter is clinically significant, even without symptoms. Discuss your results promptly with your personal clinician. The Superpower care team is available on demand to help you understand your results and prepare questions for your clinician.
