About GetTested's Medium Gut Microbiome Test
Discover your gut health intricacies with GetTested's Medium Gut Microbiome Test. This advanced test includes everything from the Small version and adds analysis of two significant bacteria: Faecalibacterium prausnitzii and Akkermansia muciniphila, key to understanding conditions like obesity, type-2 diabetes, and inflammatory bowel diseases.
About the Gut microbiome
The gut microbiome affects the body throughout your life, as it is responsible for digestion of food, the immune system and many other processes in the body.
Bacteria are different in each person’s bowel. Scientists have discovered roughly a thousand different types of bacteria residing in the bowel and each individual has about 160 different types, so every bowel is unique in that way. You will likely have different bacteria in your own bowel than another person does. However, there’s more than just bacteria. Microbes (archaea, viruses, yeast) live in the bowel as well. The small bowel has microbes too, but we have more knowledge on the ones living in the large bowel, since it’s easier to test poo samples.
A large number of scientists are interested in the bacteria inside our guts. Understandably so, since we are now aware that gut bacteria have many vital functions that are responsible for good health. They feed the cells in our bodies and control inflammation. The gut system is similar to our immune system: complex and important in maintaining our well-being. There is a rare possibility that your immune system and the gut bacteria cause diseases, which is why an analysis of your faeces is necessary. You can easily do an analysis by taking a microbiome test and discover what microbes live in your gut.
What GetTested’s test analyses
This test analyses all bacteria and yeast from the small microbiome test. These bacteria include:
Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus, Clostridium, Klebsiella, Escherichia coli (E. coli) Escherichia coli Biovare, Proteus, Pseudomonas,.Enterobacter, Serratia, Hafnia, Enterococcus, Bacteroides
Gut Microbiome Test Medium analyses four types of yeast: Candida Albicans, Candida SPP, Geotrichum Candidum, Yeast/fungus
The test also analyses ph value. In addition to all of these, the medium test examines the bacteria Akkermansia muciniphila and Faecalibacterium prausnitzii.
About the key bacteria: Akkermansia muciniphila and Faecalibacterium prausnitzii
Akkermansia muciniphila is one of the most common types of bacteria. It helps strengthen the gut lining and improve general health of the gut. Because of this, iIt is crucial for managing obesity and type-2 diabetes, impacting intestinal mucosa and inflammation. Akkermansia muciniphila levels are often lower in individuals with obesity, type-2 diabetes, inflammation, or weakened immune systems
Faecalibacterium prausnitzii is crucial in protecting the colon, controlling metabolism and the immune response. It is a major butyric acid producer and is vital for preventing colorectal cancer and IBD, acting as a health bioindicator.
Similarly to Akkermansia muciniphila, Faecalibacterium prausnitzii is usually found in lower levels in intestinal diseases, which serves as a valuable biomarker for gut health.
Understanding Obesity and Intestinal Flora
Research links intestinal flora, particularly Akkermansia muciniphila, to obesity. Various studies have in fact, brought to light the beneficial impact of Akkermansia muciniphila on treating obesity. Akkermanisa reduces the risk of obesity, by reducing body weight.
Transferring gut flora from thin to overweight individuals has shown promising results in weight loss. However, imbalanced gut flora is not the sole cause of obesity; diet, lifestyle, and thyroid issues also play roles.
