Traditionally the urinary tract was considered sterile but recent research has revealed the presence of a diverse microbial community in this region. This test uses advanced sequencing technologies to examine the genetic material of the microorganisms living in the urinary tract. The results of the Urinary Tract Microbiome Check can aid in understanding the microbiome's role in urinary tract health, links to complicated UTIs, and guide personalised approaches to improving urinary health and managing related conditions.

What's included

Some STIs can increase the risk of developing a complicated UTI. For example, individuals with gonorrhoea or chlamydia may be more susceptible to developing a UTI due to the inflammation and irritation caused by the infection.

Chlamydia TrachomatisNeisseria GonorrhoeaeMycoplasma genitaliumMycoplasma hominisUreaplasma urealyticumUreaplasma parvumTrichomonas vaginalis

Fungal UTIs are more commonly seen in individuals with weakened immune systems or other underlying medical conditions. Symptoms of fungal UTIs can be similar to those of bacterial UTIs and may include painful urination, urinary urgency, and frequency, as well as abdominal or flank pain.

Candida albicansCandida species

Complicated UTIs refer to urinary tract infections that occur in individuals with underlying conditions that increase their risk of developing the infection or make it more difficult to treat. Escherichia coli (E. coli) is the most common cause of complicated UTIs.
