Citrobacter spp.
Citrobacter spp. are a group of gram-negative bacteria belonging to the Enterobacteriaceae family. They are commonly found in soil, water, and the intestinal tracts of humans and animals. While some species are part of the normal gut flora in small amounts, elevated levels may indicate dysbiosis or overgrowth. Certain species, such as Citrobacter freundii, have been associated with gastrointestinal disturbances, urinary tract infections, and hospital-acquired infections in vulnerable individuals. In stool testing, the presence of Citrobacter may indicate microbial imbalance, immune stress, or prior antibiotic use.

Though generally harmless in small quantities, certain strains can cause infections or gastrointestinal symptoms, particularly in individuals with weakened immune systems.
Factors include recent antibiotic use, poor diet, decreased beneficial bacteria, or immune suppression.

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.
