Receiving Result Reports!

Once you have sampled your patient and the lab has processed your DNA-PCR sample we will send you an email notification. This will let you know you have a result report to view on our online secure portal. You can also log in directly to our website. https://microbelinkdx.com/ The portal is super easy to navigate. When you log in you will find “Orders” and “Reports” button. Orders are pending orders, if you have sent us a sample and we are still in process it will be under “orders.” If you have result report ready to view you will click on “Reports” This is where all your patient result reports will be stored. Its super simple!  We can also provide a demo portal if you would like to check it out prior to submitting a sample.

Every report is a PDF file, so you can click to save, print or view the file and leave it for when you are ready. It will never leave; it will always stay on the secure server!

Pathogens:

Our 11-Microbes™ result reports are so easy to read. We have same result reports listed here on our website. https://microbelinkdx.com/easy-to-read-reports/  We are testing for the 11 periodontal pathogens that are linked to periodontal disease. Those pathogens include: Aa: Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Pg: Porphyromonas gingivalis, Tf: Tannerella forsythia, Td: Treponema Deticola, Pi: Prevotella intermedia, Pm: Preptostreptococcus micros, Fn: Fusobacterium nucleatum Cr: Campylobacter rectus, En: Eubacterium nodatum, Ec: Eikenella corrodens, Cs: Capnocyophaga species (gingavalis, ochracea, sputigena)  Microbial complexes in subgingival plaque

The report: 

You will notice each colored bar has a black box. Anytime the bacteria go outside that black line the lab will give you a “suggested” antibiotic according to the bacteria present. We will also give you some “Treatment Considerations.” If you have further questions you can always contact us and we will help you as much as we can.  Also, if you would like recommendations on coaching/consultant companies that we work with who implement bacterial testing into new or your existing protocols we would be more than happy to help find a perfect fit!

You will see in the picture posted that we also provide a nice guide that can be given to patients that will explain a little bit about each pathogen and will also list a few systemic links. Our result report followed by this guide really helps the patient understand how important their periodontal health is. This “interpreting results” can be found Intrepreting my results.  Also, here is a very nice article that you might find beneficial! Association between periodontal pathogens and systemic disease
