still analysis has been around for for as long as i've been in this industry
uh... has been a very useful tool for clinicians and
uh... we had head
sourced out of the store nelson said number of years ago but
uh... found that uh... didn't quite work force for a number of reasons
they would have tried with the idea of doing a story arsonists from time to
time but again it was a
the technology hasn't really improved her for for
since the time it was initially started uh... over thirty years that purse or go
we began seen articles about uh... with the new p_c_r_ technologies
ways of
screening for numbers of of
organisms in the and all kinds of environments
basically in the storm with that jets really interesting that's that's really
the
the wave of the future because
present culture techniques and and presence oils is really look at
small percentage of the the total microbiol and present
stool sample because most of the inner of most of the microbes are anaerobic
initially the uh... microscopic examination looking for various
parasites has its drawbacks obvious drawbacks
and uh... this can be
greatly improve using this very sensitive uh... the in a detection
methods
so we decided to take a look at this and
we
had a good fortune of finding a very brilliant man to help us develop this
test using these these types of technologies and we've been began
working on these these essays or her successful at producing
some very sensitive
d_n_a_ p_c_r_ techniques to identified these this anaerobic population but
you're extremely excited about
and actualy questions are very excited about that this too because we can
identify other things like uh...
uh...
antibiotic resistance genes dexion genes that make the the bugzilla
resistant to very senate
antibiotics that would be present which is a very useful thing to know
and along with the traditional chemistries and digestive markers
inflammatory markers it's it's really a wonderful test that
that has been very successful over the past two years ago
and we continue to expand it will continue to find uh... some very
extraordinary things to look at them
think it's going to be
the gold standard of testing in the future
you get more complete information you get more accurate information
because you eliminate the transfer
the transport factor
variability of the sample that growing during transport before you can culture
that's totally gone
you know clinician sometimes uh... uh...
argue that
that they've been getting good results with the traditional culture method for
years so why should they sweatshirts are good question
the answer to that is that
gastro-intestinal tract of such a major component of of many different chronic
illnesses there's a lot going on down there and
were all recognizing that that was the interest in
in probiotics ingrid dot x
uh... really anything you can do from
information from a store on a list of approved
the microbial condition down there is going to benefit the patient
what i would argue is that with the better information the increased
information you get with these new technologies
even get even better results with the patient because you can get more
targeted
uh... you can get
more information you get more accurate information with this type of approach
and this is really only going to improve the benefit of the patients you're going
to improve their success rate of
treating a patient
and that's really that the
best benefit from this type of
improvement in technology
