Method: Shotgun metagenomic sequencing (CLIA 21D2062464); not cleared or approved by the FDA. Results reflect relative microbial abundance for wellness education purposes. Not intended to diagnose or treat disease and not a substitute for clinical consultation. Microbial associations are based on emerging scientific research and may change over time.
A derived biomarker is a value that is calculated from other directly measured biomarkers rather than being measured directly in the lab.
Key benefits of Haemophilus parainfluenzae testing
- Upper respiratory tract organism gut presence monitoring
- potential dysbiosis marker
What is Haemophilus parainfluenzae?
Haemophilus parainfluenzae is a gram-negative bacterium that normally resides in the upper respiratory tract. Its detection in the gut microbiome via stool sequencing may indicate aspiration, gut transit of respiratory secretions, or microbiome disruption. Detected by shotgun sequencing.
Why is Haemophilus parainfluenzae important?
H. parainfluenzae is typically not a primary gut resident. Its presence in stool-based microbiome analysis may be an incidental finding or may reflect microbiome changes worth monitoring, particularly in the context of other disruptive organisms.
What insights will I get?
Your H. parainfluenzae detection may be incidental or may reflect broader microbiome changes. If other disruptive organism signals are also elevated, discuss this finding with your care team.
