The Vaginal Microbiome WGS Shotgun Metagenomic test represents the most advanced high-resolution molecular analysis for female intimate health. Unlike traditional culture-based examinations, this test analyzes the entire microbial genome through self-collection with a vaginal swab, detecting bacteria, fungi, and antibiotic resistance markers, including microorganisms that cannot be cultured in the laboratory. It provides a complete and comprehensive picture of the vaginal ecosystem, making it an ideal tool for in-depth analysis and support for gynecological practice.
