What is Lactobacillus spp. PCR?

The Lactobacillus spp. PCR test identifies the presence of DNA from various Lactobacillus species in a urine sample. Lactobacillus are beneficial bacteria that play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy microbial balance in the body.

Why is this test important?

This test helps assess the balance of the urinary or vaginal microbiome, as Lactobacillus are key indicators of a healthy environment. Abnormal levels can suggest an imbalance (dysbiosis) that might contribute to certain infections or health issues.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required. A clean-catch urine sample is typically needed.
