Candida glabrata
Candida glabrata is a species of yeast that naturally inhabits the human gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts. While usually harmless in healthy individuals, it can become opportunistic in people with weakened immune systems, potentially leading to infections. Compared to other Candida species, C. glabrata is often more resistant to common antifungal medications. Its overgrowth in stool samples may signal microbial imbalance (dysbiosis), immune suppression, or prior antibiotic use. Tracking its levels can provide valuable insights into overall gut health and the risk of fungal overgrowth.

Elevated levels may indicate dysbiosis, immune suppression, or excessive use of antibiotics that disrupted the normal microbial balance.
C. glabrata is often more resistant to antifungal treatments and less likely to form hyphae, making it harder to detect in standard tests.

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 USA. 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.
