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 Vibrio cholerae testing
- Cholera pathogen monitoring
- contaminated water and seafood exposure detection
What is Vibrio cholerae?
Vibrio cholerae is the causative agent of cholera, a severe diarrheal disease transmitted through contaminated water and food. Detection in routine gut microbiome sequencing outside endemic areas is rare but clinically significant. Detected by shotgun metagenomic sequencing.
Why is Vibrio cholerae important?
Detection of V. cholerae in stool is an actionable clinical finding. While endemic primarily in parts of Asia, Africa, and Latin America, travel-related exposure and contaminated seafood can result in cases in non-endemic regions. Prompt clinical evaluation is warranted.
What insights will I get?
Any detection of Vibrio cholerae is clinically significant. 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.
