Diagnosis

The pH of the stool is examined. In addition to the qualitative stool examination for obligate pathogenic agents such as Salmonella , Campylobacter , Yersinia , Shigella and pathogenic representatives of the Clostridia , the quantitative intestinal flora analysis is offered as a self-payment service. The quantitative intestinal flora analysis includes a determination of the germ count of aerobic and anaerobic indicator germs. These are part of the so-called protective flora. In addition, germs with a pronounced proteolytic metabolism and fungi are determined. A laboratory finding can contain indications of incorrect colonization and corresponding therapy recommendations.
