Clinical interpretation guide
Reading the GutID® Microbiome Report
A working reference for clinicians: what each measure in the report means, how much weight to give it, and what to do about a result once you have one.
- The Ecosystem Approach™
- Structure, resilience and balance — rather than one organism at a time.
- A six‑step interpretation sequence
- The clinical question to ask at each stage, from ecosystem disruptors through to clinical context.
- Clinically authored, fully referenced
- Written and signed off by our clinical team, on validated Titan‑1™ sequencing.
What's in it
The report, section by section
The Target Plot, core metrics, resilience and biodiversity, the metabolic categories and the Gut Axes — what each one measures, and how much weight to give it against the rest of the picture.
What the technology can tell you
What different sequencing methods can and can't answer, and where Titan‑1™ long‑read ribosomal chain sequencing fits.
Turning a result into a plan
What to do about a finding — including a case where the ecosystem picked up a risk that no individual marker flagged, and a glossary for the terminology.
Who it's for
For clinicians already using GutID reports, and for those deciding whether the data earns a place in their workup. It answers the questions worth asking of any newer modality — what a measure actually tells you, how much confidence it warrants, and what it should change — without assuming a background in sequencing.
The clinical content is authored and signed off by our clinical team, led by Elena Panzeri, MSc, BSc (Hons), Dip. N.M., PhD Candidate. Every claim is referenced.
