The Urinary EcologiX™ test from UK based Invivo Laboratories has been specifically designed to investigate the female* urinary microbiome by assessing key commensal, pathobiont, and pathogenic bacteria commonly associated with urinary conditions.

Using quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR), this test provides an accurate analysis of the microbiota abundance in the female urinary system.  As qPCR measures the amount of bacterial DNA present in the sample, it enables us to detect and quantify the presence of commensal, pathobiont and pathogenic bacteria that can sometimes be hard to read in traditional culture methods. This information can be used to inform changes in a client’s lifestyle, nutrition, self-care or other interventions.  The turnaround time for this test is 15 days.
