GI360™ Essentials – Advanced Microbiome & Stool Analysis
The GI360™ Essentials is an advanced stool test designed to evaluate the gastrointestinal microbiome, detect pathogens, and assess microbial balance using a combination of molecular and microbiological techniques.
This panel provides a clinically relevant overview of gut health by integrating DNA-based microbiome analysis with pathogen detection, culture methods, and parasitology. It is particularly suited for patients where microbiome imbalance and infection are suspected contributors to symptoms.
Why this is not a basic stool test
Unlike standard stool tests that assess only a limited number of markers, the GI360™ Essentials evaluates the gut ecosystem at multiple levels using advanced technologies:
- DNA-based microbiome analysis covering over 45 clinically relevant organisms
- Multiplex PCR detection of bacterial, viral, and parasitic pathogens
- Culture-based microbiology with organism identification
- Microscopic parasitology for organisms not detected by PCR
- Antimicrobial and natural agent susceptibility testing
This integrated approach allows for a more complete understanding of dysbiosis, infections, and microbial imbalance compared to basic stool testing.
What this test evaluates
- Microbiome abundance and diversity
- Dysbiosis and microbial imbalance
- Bacterial, viral, and parasitic pathogens
- Yeast and fungal organisms
- Parasitology via microscopy
- Culture-based bacterial and fungal identification
- Targeted susceptibility testing
Analytes Included
| Category | Analyte Group | Clinical Insight |
|---|---|---|
| Microbiome Analysis | 45+ bacterial DNA targets | Assessment of microbiome diversity and dysbiosis |
| Dysbiosis Index | Quantifies deviation from a healthy microbiome | |
| Pathogens (PCR) | Bacterial, viral, and parasitic DNA | High-sensitivity detection of infectious organisms |
| Culture & Identification | Bacterial culture (MALDI-TOF identification) | Accurate identification of clinically relevant organisms |
| Yeast & fungal culture | Detection of fungal overgrowth | |
| Parasitology | Microscopy | Detection of parasites not identified by PCR |
| Susceptibility Testing | Antimicrobial & natural agents | Guides targeted treatment strategies |
Clinical Value
The GI360™ Essentials provides a comprehensive yet focused evaluation of the gut microbiome and infectious burden. It is particularly useful in identifying dysbiosis, hidden infections, and microbial imbalances that may contribute to chronic gastrointestinal and systemic symptoms.
By combining molecular diagnostics with traditional microbiology, this test offers a higher level of clinical insight compared to PCR-only or culture-only stool tests.
Who may benefit
- Patients with bloating, gas, constipation, or diarrhea
- Suspected dysbiosis or microbiome imbalance
- Recurrent or unexplained gastrointestinal symptoms
- Post-antibiotic or post-infection gut disturbances
- Patients with systemic symptoms linked to gut health
Sample Type
Stool sample collected at home using a dedicated collection kit.
Turnaround Time
Approximately 10 to 14 working days after sample arrival at the laboratory.
