English Blood Bacteremia
Bacteremia refers to the presence of bacteria in the bloodstream. A low level of Bacteremia will be symptomless. At a slightly moderate level, it will give rise to infections. At higher levels, it will lead to sepsis wherein the person will end up in the intensive care unit. This condition can be serious and potentially life-threatening if not detected and treated promptly.
Infection in the body can be an indicator if someone has Bacteremia. AMMAGENOMICS offers a PCR-based Blood Bacteremia Test to detect if there are bacteria in the blood. We detect Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Corynebacterium, Prevotella, Fusobacterium nucleatum, Lactobacillus, etc., in the blood.

There are different methods used to test for Blood Bacteremia, including:
Blood Culture
- Blood cultures are the primary diagnostic test for bacteremia. In this test, a small amount of blood is drawn from the patient and placed in a special culture medium that promotes bacterial growth. The sample is then incubated in the laboratory to allow any bacteria in the blood to multiply. After a specific period, the sample is examined for the presence of bacteria. Identifying the bacteria and performing antibiotic susceptibility testing can help determine the most effective antibiotic treatment.
Molecular Testing
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and other molecular methods can also be used to detect bacterial DNA or specific genetic markers in the bloodstream. These tests are generally faster than blood cultures and can provide more rapid results, but they may not replace blood cultures entirely due to their limitations in identifying antibiotic resistance patterns.Serological Tests
Serological tests, such as Enzyme Immunoassays (EIAs) or Agglutination Tests, can help detect specific antibodies against certain bacteria. These tests may indicate a recent or past infection and can complement other diagnostic methods.Automated Blood Culture Systems
Some laboratories use automated blood culture systems, which continuously monitor blood cultures for bacterial growth. These systems can speed up the detection of positive cultures and help identify the presence of bacteria more efficiently.
Why test at AMMAGENOMICS?
AMMAGENOMICS is the pioneer in bringing Microbiome Tests from the Research Lab to the Diagnostics Lab. We at AMMAGENOMICS do Personalized Diagnostics Tests for each individual and find the root cause of the health issues and help them to get a cure and be healthy. In other labs, normally they do culture-based testing and it takes several weeks for the results to come and not all bacteria are detected. So that method is not accurate. At AMMAGENOMICS, we do specialized PCR-based microbiome tests to detect all the bacteria present in the blood and also the percentage of each bacteria present and give accurate results in a quick turnaround time.
An expert panel of health consultants will look at your medical condition through the Blood Bacteremia Test that supports the development of personalized treatments. Based on the test report, a diet plan and lifestyle changes are suggested to cure the infections and improve overall health. AMMAGENOMICS focuses on Idiopathic Diagnostic Testing and helps individuals completely cure their health issues.
