A non-invasive stool test that detects H. pylori and reveals whether your strain is resistant or high-risk, so you can take action before ulcers or gastric damage develop.

Is This Right for You?
This test is designed for people who
If any of these apply, this test can give you clarity and peace of mind.
Experience chronic stomach pain, acid reflux, or nausea and want to check for a common bacterial cause
Have a family history of stomach ulcers or gastric cancer and want early, proactive screening
Want to know not just if you have H. pylori, but whether your strain is resistant or high-risk
Have been treated for H. pylori before and need to confirm whether the infection has cleared
Prefer a simple, non-invasive at-home stool test over an endoscopy or breath test
Take a prevention-first approach and want to catch and address gut infections before damage develops
13 key biomarkers
What's included in your report
Each result will include your value, your personalized optimal range, and a plain-language interpretation.
Helicobacter Pylori
A stomach-dwelling bacterium that drives chronic inflammation and increases the risk of ulcers and stomach cancer.
Virulence Factor, babA
A blood-group antigen binding adhesin that helps H. pylori stick to the stomach lining and is linked to more severe gastric disease.
Virulence Factor, cagA
A cytotoxin-associated gene A protein injected into gastric cells that disrupts signaling and strongly associates with ulcers and gastric cancer.
Virulence Factor, dupA
The “duodenal ulcer promoting gene A” which is located in a plasticity region of H. pylori’s genome and is associated (in some populations) with increased risk of duodenal ulcers.
Virulence Factor, iceA
A bacterial gene whose activity reflects epithelial contact and is linked to gastric inflammation risk.
Virulence Factor, oipA
The outer inflammatory protein A that promotes H. pylori adhesion to epithelial cells and increased gastric inflammation and disease risk.
Virulence Factor, vacA
The vacuolating cytotoxin A which damages gastric epithelial cells, aids immune evasion and is linked with both peptic ulcers and gastric cancer.
Virulence Factor, virB
Part of the Cag pathogenicity island (type IV secretion system) that helps deliver CagA into host cells, amplifying its harmful effects.
Virulence Factor, virD
Part of the Cag pathogenicity island that potentiates CagA’s virulence by assisting its translocation into gastric epithelial cells.
Amoxicillin Resistance
The presence of specific genes that confer resistance to amoxicillin, a common antibiotic used to treat H. pylori infections.
Clarithromycin Resistance
The presence of specific genes that confer resistance to clarithromycin, a common antibiotic used to treat H. pylori infections.
Fluoroquinolones Resistance
The presence of specific genes that confer resistance to fluoroquinolones, a class of antibiotics used to treat H. pylori infections.
Tetracycline Resistance
The presence of specific genes that confer resistance to tetracycline, a common antibiotic used to treat H. pylori infections.
