IVF - ASSESSMENT OF THE REPRODUCTIVE ENVIROMENT
Eubiome is a test for evaluating the health of the cervico-vaginal area. It analyzes the vaginal microbiome, identifying and quantifying four different species of Lactobacillus.
Additionally, it searches for the presence of fungi and opportunistic bacteria, sexually transmitted pathogens, and high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV). Unlike current tests that provide a static evaluation of the vaginal area, Eubiome assesses the health status of this area by classifying it into five "scores," each representative of a specific microbial community known as CST (Community State Type).
Through the definition of CST, Eubiome provides a dynamic measure of balance/imbalance and outlines the microbiota's ability to defend itself against pathogens.

Who it's recommended for
Eubiome is aimed at symptomatic individuals in the case of:
Vaginal secretions with characteristics different from the usual ones
Itching and/or burning
Light bleeding
Discomfort or pain during sexual intercourse
Difficulty in urination
Eubiome is also aimed at asymptomatic individuals, particularly:
Women of childbearing age
Women with difficulty conceiving
Women in menopause
Women who have had unprotected sex and are at risk of sexually transmitted diseases
Women who want to assess their health status
EUBIOME
Analysis method
The analysis of microorganisms was performed using automated extraction of nucleic acids from cervical-vaginal swabs, followed by the use of CE-IVD Real Time kits for the detection of the indicated microorganisms.
Bacterial Balance is defined as the relative quantification between the existing lactobacillus flora and any associated bacterial load of germs identified in bacterial vaginosis and/or vaginitis (such as Gardnerella vaginalis and Atopobium vaginae).
This score is representative of the balance between protective flora (lactobacilli) and opportunistic germs present.
Score 0.00 - 3.99: lactobacillus flora normally represented
Score 4.00 - 7.99: alteration of lactobacillus flora
Score 8.00 - 10.00: bacterial vaginosis
