Phylo Bioscience

Phylo Bioscience is a a microbiome and biotech laboratory based out of Bristol in the UK.

The lab specialises in multiple microbiome diagnostics for the assessment of gastrointestinal, vaginal and oral ecosystems.

Tests we regularly use include:

GI EcologiX – Gastrointestinal Health & Microbiome Profile – Stool Test

GI EcologiX is a comprehensive gastrointestinal health and microbiome profile by Photo Bioscience. This test uses PCR and ELISA methodologies to provide an accurate, reliable and quantifiable measurement of microbiota abundance and host inflammatory markers.

The profile assesses:

  • Healthy gastrointestinal microbiome (homeostasis of host and microbiome)
  • Gastrointestinal dysbiosis detected (imbalance of the GI microbiota andor host immune response)
  • Gastrointestinal pathogens detected (bacteria and amoebae)

Biomarkers measured include:

  • Beta Defensin 2
  • Calprotectin
  • Pancreatic Elastase
  • Secretory IgA
  • Zonulin
  • Commensal bacteria
  • Bacteroides sub-group
  • Clostridium sub-group
  • Opportunistic bacteria
  • Sulfidogenic bacteria
  • LPS forming bacteria
  • Mycology
  • Parasitology
  • H Pylori + stool antigen
