Proteobacteria

Proteobacteria is a large phylum of gram-negative bacteria that includes both harmless commensals and potential pathogens. In the gut, a small amount of Proteobacteria can be normal, but elevated levels are often considered a marker of dysbiosis and inflammation. This group includes species such as Escherichia, Salmonella, Helicobacter, and Klebsiella, some of which are linked to gastrointestinal disorders, infections, and metabolic imbalances. An increased abundance of Proteobacteria may reflect microbial instability or a pro-inflammatory gut environment.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the UK. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
