Description
What’s included:
Metagenomic Shotgun Screening by The BioArte:
The BioArte’s metagenomic shotgun screening is the most advanced, untargeted tool for comprehensive analysis of the human microbiome and beyond. This technology allows full sequencing of all DNA extracted from biological samples, providing a complete genetic picture of all microorganisms present — without being limited to specific marker genes.
What it detects:
- Bacteria: identified down to species and, in many cases, strain level.
- Fungi: direct detection of fungal species without the need for culture.
- Parasites: identification of intestinal parasites and protozoa.
- Viruses: metagenomic detection of DNA viruses, including latent or low-abundance viral infections.
- Antibiotic resistance genes: comprehensive mapping of key antibiotic resistance genes present in the sample’s microbial community.
Key advantages:
- Unbiased approach: the method detects any organism present, including rare, unexpected, or emerging pathogens.
- High resolution: allows for precise taxonomic classification and detection of genetic variants.
- Identification of co-infections: the system detects mixed infections (bacterial, viral, fungal, parasitic) and determines the dominant pathogen.
- Detection of emerging or unknown pathogens: ideal for research, precision medicine, and complex clinical cases.
Applications:
The BioArte’s standard of quality: All processes are carried out in The BioArte’s certified laboratory using state-of-the-art next-generation sequencing technologies (Oxford Nanopore), combined with proprietary bioinformatics pipelines designed to deliver the highest accuracy in taxonomic identification and antimicrobial resistance gene profiling. Each test is delivered with a detailed scientific report and the possibility of personalized scientific consultation.
- Advanced diagnostics for immunocompromised patients.
- Monitoring hospital-acquired infections and multidrug-resistant organisms.
- Investigating intestinal dysbiosis.
