Method: Shotgun metagenomic sequencing (CLIA 21D2062464); not cleared or approved by the FDA. Results reflect relative microbial abundance for wellness education purposes. Not intended to diagnose or treat disease and not a substitute for clinical consultation. Microbial associations are based on emerging scientific research and may change over time.
A derived biomarker is a value that is calculated from other directly measured biomarkers rather than being measured directly in the lab.
Key benefits of Aspergillus testing
- Aspergillus mold genus monitoring
- environmental mold exposure and gut fungal burden tracking
What is Aspergillus?
Aspergillus is a ubiquitous environmental mold genus that can occasionally colonize the gut. Most Aspergillus species are non-pathogenic; A. fumigatus can cause serious invasive infections in immunocompromised individuals. Detected by shotgun metagenomic sequencing.
Why is Aspergillus important?
Aspergillus in the gut may reflect environmental mold exposure through food or air. While low-level detection may be incidental, elevated Aspergillus burden or detection of A. fumigatus specifically may be relevant for individuals with immune challenges or asthma.
What insights will I get?
Your Aspergillus detection may reflect environmental mold exposure or food-acquired fungal presence. Discuss elevated findings with your care team, particularly in the context of immune status and respiratory symptoms.
