The Metagenomic Analysis of the oral Microbiome by massive sequencing of the latest generation allows obtaining an unaltered view of all the organisms present in a saliva sample and lingual and dental smears (among them bacteria that can cause endocarditis and other pathologies). Without the need to perform cultures, in a single test, we can detect any pathogen of bacterial origin (at the strain level), viral, fungal, protozoan and parasites, thus becoming the most advanced microbiota study technique of the moment. This novel technology allows us to know the existence of microorganisms that directly or indirectly cause pathologies related to the oral microbiota.
The analysis is accompanied by a report made by laboratory physicians. This report indicates whether or not there are infections, the proportion of the different components of the flora.
WARNING: If you are taking antibiotics, finish the treatment and wait 30 days before collecting and shipping the sample.
If you take vitamins, supplements, prebiotics AND / or probiotics, stop taking them for 1 to 2 weeks before collecting and shipping the sample.
