Enterobacter
Enterobacter, a genus of common bacteria, can be found in the human gut. Typically harmless, they form part of the natural gut flora. However, in certain conditions, their overgrowth can indicate or cause health issues. Monitoring Enterobacter levels in stool can provide valuable insights into gut health and help diagnose various conditions....
Description
Testing for Enterobacter in stool is particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing gastrointestinal symptoms, those with a history of digestive disorders, or anyone concerned about their gut microbiome balance. It’s also useful for people undergoing treatment with antibiotics, as these can disrupt normal gut flora.
High Enterobacter Levels:
- Gastrointestinal discomfort
- Bloating, diarrhea, and possible symptoms of infection.
High levels are often associated with an inflammatory process in the intestinal mucosa. Enterobacter are opportunists that can occur as pathogens in hospitals where they cause infections in people with weakened immune systems.
Overgrowth of Enterobacter in stool can be attributed to several factors, including prolonged antibiotic use, compromised immune system, recent surgery, hospitalization, or certain chronic digestive disorders. Dietary habits and overall gut health also play a significant role.
