Providencia spp.
Providencia spp. are gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic bacteria that belong to the Enterobacteriaceae family. They are not usually dominant members of the gut microbiome but can be found in small amounts. Some species, such as Providencia stuartii and Providencia rettgeri, are considered opportunistic pathogens and have been linked with urinary tract infections and gastrointestinal disturbances. Elevated levels in a stool sample may indicate microbial imbalance (dysbiosis) or an overgrowth of potentially pathogenic strains. Providencia species are also known for their ability to produce urease and contribute to ammonia formation.
Description
Providencia spp. are gram-negative bacteria occasionally found in the gut, with some species associated with infections.
To detect imbalances in the gut microbiota and identify potential overgrowths of opportunistic pathogens.
In healthy individuals, it’s usually not a concern, but elevated levels may indicate dysbiosis or a higher risk of infection.
Possible gut microbial imbalance, increased ammonia production, or impaired gut barrier function.

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.

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.
