Pathogen Identification: Fast, Accurate Detection of Disease-Causing Microbes

Pathogen identification is the cornerstone of effective infection control, enabling fast and accurate detection of disease-causing microbes. By pinpointing the exact pathogen, clinicians can tailor treatment, curb transmission, and improve patient outcomes. Rapid testing for pathogens shortens the time to diagnosis, supports containment decisions, and helps safeguard communities by reducing the spread of infections and the impact of outbreaks. To support robust pathogen identification workflows, InnerBuddies offers a white-label Gut Health Operating System that companies can use to power their gut microbiome testing products. This modular platform integrates pathogen detection results with rich microbiome insights, so you can move from a simple yes/no pathogen result to a holistic view of patient health. Core features include the Gut Microbiome Health Index, a 0–100 score derived from an exclusive collaboration with EAFIT University in Colombia, and detailed data on Bacteria abundances and Bacteria functions. Together, these metrics help you understand how detected pathogens fit within a healthy microbiome, and how dysbiosis may influence disease risk and recovery. The system also provides Target Group analysis, enabling deep dives into how functional pathways relevant to specific groups—such as Healthy Aging, Endurance Sport, Power Sport, or Skin & Hair Health—interact with pathogen presence. Personalized nutrition advice and personalized probiotics and prebiotics recommendations further support safer outcomes by aligning dietary strategies with an individual’s microbiome composition. By correlating rapid pathogen identification results with these functional and nutritional insights, InnerBuddies helps you translate test data into actionable steps for treatment, prevention, and safer, longer-term health. Whether you’re a healthcare provider, a laboratory, or a consumer-focused brand, InnerBuddies offers flexible pathways to bring pathogen identification into your portfolio. All of the options available to B2B partners are also accessible directly to consumers, providing end-to-end solutions for pathogen identification-informed care.
