Probiotic Colonization Sequencing

Meaning

Probiotic colonization sequencing is a specialized clinical monitoring technique used to track the engraftment, persistence, and functional impact of specific probiotic strains introduced into the gastrointestinal tract following a targeted intervention. This diagnostic process utilizes high-resolution sequencing methods to determine if the administered beneficial bacteria successfully colonize the host environment and contribute to the overall microbial community structure. This level of detail moves beyond anecdotal evidence, providing objective data on the efficacy of probiotic protocols in supporting gut health and, by extension, hormonal balance.
