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 Salmonella enterica testing
- Salmonella foodborne pathogen monitoring
- contaminated food and water exposure marker
What is Salmonella enterica?
Salmonella enterica is a major foodborne pathogen commonly associated with contaminated poultry, eggs, produce, and water. It is typically not a normal microbiome resident. Detection by stool metagenomics may reflect active infection, recent exposure, or asymptomatic carriage. Detected by shotgun sequencing.
Why is Salmonella enterica important?
Salmonellosis is one of the most common foodborne illnesses. While most cases are self-limiting, some serovars can cause severe systemic illness. Detection in a microbiome context - even asymptomatically - warrants clinical evaluation.
What insights will I get?
Any detection of Salmonella enterica is clinically significant, even without symptoms. Discuss your results promptly with your personal clinician. The Superpower care team is available on demand to help you understand your results and prepare questions for your clinician.
