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 Yersinia enterocolitica testing
- Yersinia foodborne pathogen monitoring
- pork and contaminated water exposure tracking
What is Yersinia enterocolitica?
Yersinia enterocolitica is a gram-negative bacterium that causes yersiniosis, a foodborne gastrointestinal illness primarily associated with undercooked pork and contaminated water. Detected by shotgun metagenomic sequencing of stool.
Why is Yersinia enterocolitica important?
Yersiniosis can cause acute gastroenteritis and, in some cases, post-infectious reactive arthritis or other systemic complications. Detection in microbiome testing may reflect recent food or water exposure. Clinical evaluation is warranted with any positive finding.
What insights will I get?
Any detection of Yersinia enterocolitica is clinically significant. Discuss your results promptly with your personal clinician, particularly if you have had recent gastrointestinal symptoms or exposure to undercooked pork. The Superpower care team is available on demand to help you understand your results and prepare questions for your clinician.
