Study of RED MICROBIOME
This laboratory test serves as an aggregate examination of the overall status of the intestinal microflora by molecular biological analysis.
The microbiome is the overall bacterial mass of the gut, which includes the many microorganisms that inhabit it. Gut microbiota is a similar term often used as a collective term for all microorganisms that form the bacterial environment of the gut.
As dysbiosis or dysbacteriosis are denoted disorders in the balance of the intestinal microflora. The condition is associated with the manifestation of pathogenic microorganisms and their peculiar “overpowering” over the good bacteria, caring for the proper functioning of digestive processes.
What does the gut microbiome study involve?
The study is complex and has several key aspects. At its core is the process of analysing the composition of the microbiome according to the type of microorganisms involved. It also assesses the presence of bacterial dysbacteriosis as well as assessing the mucosa-protective microflora. The study also determines the enterotype and specific distribution of bacterial strains.The study method itself is based on a new generation of sequencing and quantitative DNA determination.
Risk health problems associated with intestinal dysbiosis:
Studies have shown that the manifestation of dysbacteriosis can be associated with diseases of various kinds that predispose to its onset.The group includes metabolic diseases such as diabetes and obesity, inflammatory diseases of the digestive system, some autoimmune diseases and even allergies, neurological problems such as autism, Parkinson’s and depression.
Why is gut microbiome testing important?
In the presence of symptomatology characteristic of intestinal dysbacteriosis, this type of comprehensive research contributes to the diagnosis, evaluation of the condition, detection of the causative agent and tracking the development of various digestive and intestinal diseases.
Bacteria contribute to the normal course of various processes in the body, and are particularly important in protecting it from harmful pathogens such as fungi, shigella, salmonella and other types of bacteria that can cause infections. Without the beneficial bacteria of the microbiome, nutrients could not be processed properly. A normal intestinal microflora, on the other hand, is also the basis of good immunity and thus overall good health.
All this makes this type of research a necessary tool in the care of optimal health, in the presence of relevant symptomatology.
Price of Intestinal Microbiome – 328 BGN.
Important – how to prepare for the study?
A biological fecal sample is provided for laboratory analysis. It is recommended not to take antibiotic and probiotic medications in the 2-week period prior to its collection, as they may interfere with the examination.
To prepare the material for the study, you can obtain special “Microbiome” kits at the following addresses:
gr. Sofia, gk. Mladost 2, bl. 261 E; gr. Plovdiv, bul. “Makedonija” 2B; gr. Varna, ul. “Gabrovo” 17;

gr. Sofia, ul. Buzludja 64; gr. Razlog, ul. “St. Sv. Cyril and Methodius” 4.
The deadline for the study is 20 working days. The results will be published in English.
