About GetTested's Medium Gut Microbiome Test
Discover your gut health intricacies with GetTested's Medium Gut Microbiome Test. This advanced test includes everything from the Small version and adds analysis of two significant bacteria: Faecalibacterium prausnitzii and Akkermansia muciniphila, key to understanding conditions like obesity, type-2 diabetes, and inflammatory bowel diseases.
About the Gut microbiome
The gut microbiome affects the body throughout your life, as it is responsible for digestion of food, the immune system and many other processes in the body.
Bacteria are different in each person’s bowel. Scientists have discovered roughly a thousand different types of bacteria residing in the bowel and each individual has about 160 different types, so every bowel is unique in that way. You will likely have different bacteria in your own bowel than another person does. However, there’s more than just bacteria. Microbes (archaea, viruses, yeast) live in the bowel as well. The small bowel has microbes too, but we have more knowledge on the ones living in the large bowel, since it’s easier to test poo samples. 
A large number of scientists are interested in the bacteria inside our guts. Understandably so, since we are now aware that gut bacteria have many vital functions that are responsible for good health. They feed the cells in our bodies and control inflammation. The gut system is similar to our immune system: complex and important in maintaining our well-being. There is a rare possibility that your immune system and the gut bacteria cause diseases, which is why an analysis of your faeces is necessary. You can easily do an analysis by taking a microbiome test and discover what microbes live in your gut.
What GetTested’s test analyses
This test analyses all bacteria and yeast from the small microbiome test. These bacteria include:
Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus, Clostridium, Klebsiella, Escherichia coli (E. coli) Escherichia coli Biovare, Proteus, Pseudomonas,.Enterobacter, Serratia, Hafnia, Enterococcus, Bacteroides
Gut Microbiome Test Medium analyses four types of yeast: Candida Albicans, Candida SPP, Geotrichum Candidum, Yeast/fungus
The test also analyses ph value. In addition to all of these, the medium test examines the bacteria Akkermansia muciniphila and Faecalibacterium prausnitzii.
About the key bacteria: Akkermansia muciniphila and Faecalibacterium prausnitzii
Akkermansia muciniphila is one of the most common types of bacteria. It helps strengthen the gut lining and improve general health of the gut. Because of this, iIt is crucial for managing obesity and type-2 diabetes, impacting intestinal mucosa and inflammation. Akkermansia muciniphila levels are often lower in individuals with obesity, type-2 diabetes, inflammation, or weakened immune systems
Faecalibacterium prausnitzii is crucial in protecting the colon, controlling metabolism and the immune response. It is a major butyric acid producer and is vital for preventing colorectal cancer and IBD, acting as a health bioindicator. 
Similarly to Akkermansia muciniphila, Faecalibacterium prausnitzii is usually found in lower levels in intestinal diseases, which serves as a valuable biomarker for gut health.
Understanding Obesity and Intestinal Flora
Research links intestinal flora, particularly Akkermansia muciniphila, to obesity. Various studies have in fact, brought to light the beneficial impact of Akkermansia muciniphila on treating obesity. Akkermanisa reduces the risk of obesity, by reducing body weight. 
Transferring gut flora from thin to overweight individuals has shown promising results in weight loss. However, imbalanced gut flora is not the sole cause of obesity; diet, lifestyle, and thyroid issues also play roles.
Who would benefit from this Gut Microbiome Test?
This is the best Gut Microbiome Test for those seeking a deep dive into their gut flora, especially if dealing with obesity, diabetes, or gut-related issues. For a more extensive analysis, consider GetTested's Large or XL Gut Microbiome Tests, which cover additional aspects like digestive function and leaky gut.
This test is not suitable for babies or children below the age of 6 years old.

Gut Microbiome Test XL

Bacterias

IgG antibodies are produced later in the immune response and typically indicate previous exposure to Mycoplasma pneumoniae. They usually appear 2–3 weeks after the onset of infection and can remain detectable for months or even years. A positive IgG result does not necessarily signify an active infection but demonstrates that the immune system has encountered the pathogen before. When tested alongside IgM, IgG helps distinguish between acute, recent, and past infections.

IgG antibodies to Mycoplasma pneumoniae

IgM antibodies are the first type of antibodies produced by the immune system in response to an acute infection. When IgM against Mycoplasma pneumoniae is present, it typically indicates a recent or ongoing infection. These antibodies appear within 1–2 weeks of exposure and usually decline after a few months. Testing for IgM is useful in identifying the early phase of a Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection, especially in symptomatic individuals.

IgM antibodies to Mycoplasma pneumoniae

Lactobacillus is a beneficial bacterium commonly found in the gut and in certain fermented foods. It plays a vital role in supporting digestive health, improving nutrient absorption, and maintaining a balanced immune system.

Lactobacillus

Enterococcus is a type of bacteria that naturally inhabits the human intestines as part of the normal gut flora. It contributes to aspects of gut health, but excessive growth in stool can indicate microbial imbalance or a possible infection, particularly in individuals with weakened immune systems.

Enterococcus

Escherichia coli Biovare is a distinct subspecies of E. coli that is not usually abundant in a healthy human intestine. It encompasses various forms, including haemolytic, mucoid, and lactose-negative types. Elevated levels—particularly in the presence of an alkaline pH and low beneficial E. coli—may indicate weakened mucosal immunity, often associated with reduced secretory IgA production.

Escherichia coli Biovare

Serratia is a type of bacterium commonly found in the environment and occasionally in the human intestinal tract. While generally harmless in healthy individuals, its presence in stool may be a concern for those with certain health conditions. Detection in stool tests can indicate potential imbalances in gut flora or infections.

Serratia

Enterobacter is a genus of bacteria commonly found in the human gut. Usually harmless, these bacteria are part of the natural gut flora and contribute to digestive health. However, an overgrowth of Enterobacter can indicate or lead to health problems. Monitoring Enterobacter levels in stool can provide important insights into gut health and assist in diagnosing various conditions.

Enterobacter

Hafnia is a genus of bacteria commonly found in the intestinal tract and considered part of the normal gut flora. While generally harmless, its presence in stool may indicate changes in gut microbiota or suggest potential digestive imbalances.

Hafnia

Klebsiella is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria found in environments such as soil, water, and the human gut. Certain species, including Klebsiella pneumoniae, can cause serious infections in the lungs, bloodstream, urinary tract, and wounds. These bacteria are notable for their resistance to many antibiotics, making them a significant challenge in healthcare settings.

Klebsiella

Escherichia coli (E. coli) is a gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium commonly found in the intestines of humans and animals. While most strains are harmless and aid digestion and vitamin production, certain types can cause foodborne illness and gastrointestinal infections.

Escheria coli

Proteus is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria commonly associated with urinary tract infections (UTIs), particularly in individuals with long-term catheter use or compromised immune systems. They can also cause wound infections and, less commonly, respiratory infections. Proteus species are known for their resistance to multiple antibiotics, which can complicate treatment.

Proteus

Bifidobacterium is a key genus of beneficial bacteria that primarily inhabit the human gastrointestinal tract. They play an important role in supporting digestion, enhancing immune function, producing essential vitamins, and combating harmful microbes. Maintaining a balanced level of Bifidobacterium is essential for a healthy gut microbiome.

Bifidobacterium

Bacteroides spp. are a key group of bacteria in the human gut microbiome, essential for breaking down complex carbohydrates and producing short-chain fatty acids. These functions support colon health, help regulate the immune system, and protect against harmful pathogens.

Bacteriodes

Streptococcus Group A (Streptococcus pyogenes) is a type of bacteria responsible for a variety of infections, ranging from mild skin conditions and tonsillitis to serious illnesses such as scarlet fever, rheumatic fever, and necrotising fasciitis. Detecting Group A Streptococcus is essential for timely and accurate diagnosis, enabling prompt treatment to prevent complications.

Streptococcus Group A

Clostridium is a genus of bacteria that includes species naturally found in the human gut as well as others that can cause illness. These bacteria are notable for their ability to form spores, which allows them to survive in harsh environments. While some Clostridium species contribute to gut health, others, such as Clostridium difficile, can cause serious infections, particularly after antibiotic use disrupts the normal gut flora.

Clostridium

Pseudomonas in stool refers to the presence of bacteria from the Pseudomonas genus, most commonly Pseudomonas aeruginosa, in the gastrointestinal tract. While not usually a common gut resident, it can cause infection or overgrowth, particularly in individuals with weakened immune systems. Its detection may indicate an imbalance in gut microbiota or an underlying condition, especially if gastrointestinal symptoms are present.

Pseudomonas

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a type of bacteria that colonises the stomach lining and is known for its role in gastrointestinal disorders. It is commonly associated with peptic ulcers, chronic gastritis, and an increased risk of stomach cancer. Its ability to thrive in the stomach’s acidic environment makes it a key factor in long-term digestive health.

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.

Absolutely perfect, results came after few days and finally after a lots of times visited GP, we finally know why my son has eczema - he is allergy to carrot. Thanks a lot.

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.
