GZ Pathogen Detection Reference Ranges
The Gut Zoomer pathogen reference ranges were developed to construct cut off values that differentiate between disease-causing pathogens, opportunistic pathogens, and commensal relative abundance. Results are reported as colony-forming units (CFU), which is a standard measurement unit used in microbiology to estimate the viable microorganisms in a sample. Results are expressed in standard scientific notation. A reported result of 1.20e5 is equivalent to 1.2 x 105, or 120,000 CFU/mL.
