Who Would Benefit from Enterococcus Testing in Stool?

Testing for Enterococcus in stool is important for individuals with gastrointestinal symptoms, such as diarrhea or abdominal pain. It’s also relevant for people with immune-compromised conditions, those undergoing certain medical treatments, or anyone concerned about their gut microbiome balance.

Symptoms of Imbalanced Enterococcus Levels in Stool?

  • Digestive Issues: Diarrhea, bloating, abdominal discomfort.
  • Signs of Infection: Fever, nausea, possibly vomiting.

What does Abnormal Enterococcus levels mean?

Enterococcus produce acidic metabolic products and antibacterial substances that prevent foreign bacterial colonization in the small intestine (resistance to small intestinal colonization). Low levels promote the occurrence of endogenous infections by disrupting microbial barrier function.

Common Reasons for Enterococcus Presence in Stool?

Enterococcus can proliferate due to antibiotic use, dietary changes, or gastrointestinal disorders. Environmental factors and hygiene practices also influence its presence.
