Personalized Microbial Profiling

Meaning

Personalized microbial profiling is a sophisticated diagnostic and clinical practice involving the detailed genetic sequencing and functional analysis of an individual’s unique gut, skin, or other body-site microbial communities. This comprehensive assessment goes beyond merely identifying major bacterial groups to determine the precise species, strains, and metabolic potential of the entire microbiome. The clinical goal is to correlate this personalized profile with the individual’s hormonal status, metabolic markers, and overall health to develop highly targeted, individualized therapeutic interventions.
