CLIA ID NO: 14D06464700001793 Expected /Beneficial bacteria make up a significant portion of the total microflora in a healthy & balanced GI tract. These beneficial bacteria have manyhealth-protecting effects in the GI tract including manufacturing vitamins, fermenting fibers, digesting proteins and carbohydrates, and propagating anti-tumor and anti-inflammatory are prevalent flora in a healthy intestine. Clostridium spp. should be considered in the context of balance with other expected/beneficial of clostridia or over abundance relative to other expected/beneficial flora indicates bacterial imbalance.

3 If C. difficile associated disease issuspected, a Comprehensive Clostridium culture or toxigenic C. difficile DNA test is (Imbalanced) bacteria are usually neither pathogenic nor beneficial to the host GI tract. Imbalances can occur when there are insufficientlevels of beneficial bacteria and increased levels of commensal bacteria. Certain commensal bacteria are reported as dysbiotic at higher bacteria consist of known pathogenic bacteria and those that have the potential to cause disease in the GI tract. They can be present due to anumber of factors including: consumption of contaminated water or food, exposure to chemicals that are toxic to beneficial bacteria; the use of antibiotics,oral contraceptives or other medications; poor fiber intake and high stress may normally be present in small quantities in the skin, mouth, and intestine.

4 Wheninvestigating the presence of yeast, disparity may exist between culturing and microscopicexamination. Yeast are not uniformly dispersed throughout the Stool and this may lead toundetectable or low levels of yeast identified by microscopy, despite culture and identified yeastspecies. Conversely, microscopic examination may reveal a significant amount of yeast present butno viable yeast cultured. Yeast may not always survive transit through the intestines. Nonviable diet-derived yeast may also be detected microscopically. Consideration of clinical intervention for yeastdetected microscopically should be made in the context of other findings and presentation in Stool is expected at a level of none-rare.

5 A microscopic finding of yeast in Stool offew, moderate, or many may be helpful inidentifying potential yeast overgrowth, or non-viable or dietary yeast.*Aeromonas, Campylobacter, Plesiomonas, Salmonella,Shigella, Vibrio, Yersinia, & Edwardsiella tarda havebeen specifically tested for and found absent #: F000000-0000-0 PATIENT: Sample Patient ID: P0000000000 SEX: FemaleDOB: AGE: 30 CLIENT #: 12345 DOCTOR: Doctor's Data, Illinois Charles, IL 60174 !

Correlations between low levelsand chronic pancreatitis and cancer have beenreported. Fat Stain: Microscopic determinationof fecal fat using Sudan IV staining is aqualitative procedure utilized to assess fatabsorption and to detect steatorrhea.

7 Musclefibers in the Stool are an indicator of incompletedigestion. Bloating, flatulence, feelings of fullness may be associated with increase inmuscle fibers. Vegetable fibers in the Stool maybe indicative of inadequate chewing, or eating on the run . Carbohydrates: The presence ofreducing substances in Stool specimens canindicate carbohydrate and Calprotectin are reliablemarkers for differentiating organic inflammation(IBD) from function symptoms (IBS) and formanagement of IBD. Monitoring levels of fecallactoferrin and calprotectin can play an essentialrole in determining the effectiveness of therapy,are good predictors of IBD remission, and canindicate a low risk of relapse.

8 Lysozyme* is anenzyme secreted at the site of inflammation inthe GI tract and elevated levels have beenidentified in IBD patients . White Blood Cells(WBC) and Mucus in the Stool can occur withbacterial and parasitic infections , with mucosalirritation, and inflammatory bowel diseases suchas Crohn s disease or ulcerative IgA* (sIgA) is secreted by mucosaltissue and represents the first line of defense ofthe GI mucosa and is central to the normalfunction of the GI tract as an immune levels of sIgA have been associatedwith an upregulated immune : Date Collected: 01/17/2020 Date Received: 01/20/2020 Date Reported.

LAB DIR: Erlo Roth, MD0001953 Short chain fatty acids (SCFAs): SCFAs arethe end product of the bacterial fermentationprocess of dietary fiber by beneficial flora in thegut and play an important role in the health of theGI as well as protecting against intestinaldysbiosis. Lactobacilli and bifidobacteria producelarge amounts of short chain fatty acids, whichdecrease the pH of the intestines and thereforemake the environment unsuitable for pathogens,including bacteria and yeast.
