Comprehensive Parasitology x1 (Culture, PCR + Parasitology)
The Comprehensive Parasitology (Culture, PCR + Parasitology) profile is an important tool for identifying imbalances in intestinal microflora. It includes comprehensive bacteriology and yeast cultures to identify the presence of beneficial flora, imbalanced flora including Clostridium species, and dysbiotic flora, as well as detection of infectious pathogens and parasites by PCR and other gold standard methods. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing to prescriptive and natural agents is also performed for appropriate cultured bacterial and fungal species at no additional charge. Parasitology testing can include one-, two- or three-day collection, based on practitioner preference.
NOTE: Please ensure that a correct amount of stool sample is provided in EACH vial.
