Functional Microbial Mapping

Meaning

Functional Microbial Mapping is an advanced diagnostic procedure that provides a comprehensive, high-resolution analysis of the gut microbiome, focusing not only on the identity of the organisms present but also on their metabolic potential. This assessment quantifies the functional genes and metabolic pathways of the microbial community, revealing their capacity to produce essential compounds like short-chain fatty acids and enzymes that regulate hormone clearance. It offers a deeper, clinically actionable understanding of the gut’s profound influence on host physiology.
