Comprehensive Clostridium Culture
SKU:CLOS
Digestive problems such as bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, or unexplained fatigue may sometimes be linked to harmful bacteria in the gut. The Comprehensive Clostridium Culture checks for the presence of Clostridium species, which can cause gut infections, disrupt the microbiome, and affect overall health. Early detection is vital to prevent complications and guide targeted treatment.
Why Comprehensive Clostridium Culture Matters?
Clostridium bacteria can trigger intestinal infections ranging from mild digestive upset to severe illness. With antibiotic resistance and rising gut health issues, identifying harmful bacterial overgrowth is essential for both symptom relief and long-term health. This test helps ensure timely diagnosis and treatment to restore a balanced digestive system.
What Gets Assessed?
- Presence of pathogenic Clostridium species, including C. botulinum, C. tetani, C. perfringens, and C. difficile.
- If C. difficile is cultured at any level, the sample is automatically tested for all known toxigenic strains using an FDA-cleared, molecular diagnostic DNA assay.
