Morganella spp.

Morganella spp., most notably Morganella morganii, are gram-negative bacteria belonging to the Enterobacteriaceae family. They are considered opportunistic pathogens and are occasionally found in the human intestinal tract as part of the normal flora. However, elevated levels in stool may indicate dysbiosis or potential infection risk, especially in immunocompromised individuals. Morganella is also known for its production of biogenic amines, such as putrescine and cadaverine, which can contribute to gut and systemic symptoms. In clinical settings, Morganella morganii has been associated with urinary tract infections and other hospital-acquired infections.

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.
