GI360™ Microbiome Profile

The GI360™ Microbiome Profile provides a focused gut microbiome DNA analysis.

• PCR Analysis for the Dysbiosis, Abundance, and Diversity of Key Bacterial Populations of the GI Microbiome

Microbiome Abundance and Diversity – The GI360 Microbiome Profile is a gut microbiota DNA analysis tool that identifies and characterizes 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 Dysbiosis and Diversity Index These indexes are calculated from the results of the Microbiome Profile, with scores ranging from 1 to 5, and do not include consideration of dysbiotic and pathogenic bacteria, yeast, parasites and viruses that may be reported in subsequent sections of the GI360 test. A dysbiosis score above 2 indicates dysbiosis; a microbiota profile that differs from the defined normobiotic reference population.  The higher the score above 2, the more the sample deviates from the normobiotic profile. A diversity score of 3 indicates an expected amount of diversity, with 4 & 5 indicating an increased distribution of bacteria based on the number of different species and their abundance in the sample, calculated based on Shannon’s diversity index. Scores of 1 or 2 indicate less diversity than the defined normobiotic reference population.
