Gut Pathogen Identification: Fast, Accurate Detection for Infections

Fast, accurate gut pathogen identification for infections — discover how rapid detection guides effective treatment, reduces symptoms, and stops spread. In clinical care, pinpointing the exact pathogen driving a gut infection shortens the time to targeted therapy, helping to curb transmission and limit unnecessary treatments. Rapid, reliable identification supports clinicians with objective data to guide decisions, which can translate into faster symptom relief for patients and a quicker route to containment when outbreaks occur. InnerBuddies offers a white-label Gut Health Operating System that powerfully complements gut pathogen identification within testing products. The platform is modular and scalable, combining a Gut Microbiome Health Index (0–100) built through an exclusive collaboration with EAFIT University in Colombia with rich microbial data. We present Bacteria abundances for a top 40 panel, showing how a patient’s sample compares to a healthy reference cohort, enabling quick spotting of pathogen-driven shifts. We also categorize bacterial metabolic functions into positive and negative groups and reveal how a patient’s functional profile stacks up against healthy norms, helping to contextualize pathogen signals within overall gut function. Target Group analysis deepens insight for diverse populations, from Healthy Aging to Endurance Sport and Skin & Hair Health, by highlighting which functional pathways are most relevant for each group. This targeted lens supports more precise interpretation of how infections may interact with a given lifestyle or physiology, guiding both treatment choices and supportive care. In addition, personalized nutrition advice uses data from 3-day food diaries aligned with stool results, delivering actionable guidance to bolster gut resilience during recovery. InnerBuddies also offers personalized probiotics and prebiotics recommendations tailored to an individual’s unique gut microbiome profile. Beyond enterprise capabilities, InnerBuddies delivers consumer-facing gut test solutions, with all partner options available directly to consumers.
