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 Haemophilus influenzae testing
- Respiratory pathogen gut presence monitoring
- immune challenge marker
What is Haemophilus influenzae?
Haemophilus influenzae is a gram-negative bacterium primarily associated with respiratory infections. Its detection in gut microbiome sequencing may reflect gut transit from the respiratory tract or, in some cases, gut colonization. Detected by shotgun sequencing.
Why is Haemophilus influenzae important?
H. influenzae in the gut microbiome context is an atypical finding that may indicate recent respiratory illness, immune challenges, or microbiome disruption. Clinical correlation is typically warranted when detected.
What insights will I get?
Detection of H. influenzae in your gut microbiome is worth noting and discussing with your care team, particularly in the context of recent respiratory symptoms or antibiotic use.
