Acinetobacteria spp.
Acinetobacter spp. are a group of gram-negative bacteria commonly found in soil, water, and occasionally in the human gut. Although not usually dominant in a healthy microbiome, certain strains may colonise the intestines, especially after antibiotic use or in hospital settings. Some species, such as Acinetobacter baumannii, are known for their resistance to antibiotics and their role in infections, particularly in immunocompromised individuals. In stool analysis, the presence of Acinetobacter may indicate environmental exposure, microbial imbalance, or antibiotic-induced changes in gut flora.
Description
Acinetobacter spp. refers to a group of gram-negative bacteria commonly found in the environment and occasionally within the human gut.
Its presence may indicate gut dysbiosis or recent exposure to antibiotics or hospital-like environments.
Some strains, like A. baumannii, can be opportunistic pathogens, particularly in people with weakened immune systems.
Not necessarily, but elevated levels might be worth keeping an eye on, especially if there are symptoms or a history of antibiotics.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the UK. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

Absolutely perfect, results came after few days and finally after a lots of times visited GP, we finally know why my son has eczema - he is allergy to carrot. Thanks a lot.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
