About DNA ConneXions® Comprehensive Oral Test
Our Comprehensive Oral Test detects the presence of 88 different anaerobic and aerobic bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses using one of the four sampling methods listed below.
Super Floss:
Our highly absorbent Super Floss is perfect for sample collection at home without the assistance of a medical/dental professional.
Oral Blood:
A sample of blood extracted from the oral cavity. This sampling method should only be used under the advisement of a medical/dental professional.
*Requires the assistance of a trained medical/dental professional to collect the sample.
Extracted Tooth:
A kit to collect a tooth extracted by a trained dental professional. This sampling method should only be used under the advisement of a medical/dental professional.
*Requires the assistance of a trained medical/dental professional to collect the sample.
Paper Points:
A kit to collect pre-treatment sampling in a site-specific manner. This sampling method should only be used under the advisement of a medical/dental professional.
The DNA ConneXions® Lyme Disease Test identifies four different genes that are found in Borrelia burgdorferi, the most common cause of Lyme disease in the United States, and ten common Lyme disease vector born co-infectors and other organisms including Borrelia recurrentis, Borrelia miyamotoi, Babesia microti, Babesia divergens, Babesia duncani, Bartonella bacilliformis, Ehrlichia chaffeensis, Bartonella henselae, Bartonella quintana, and Anaplasma phagocytophilum.
Positive detection of Lyme co-infectors indicates likely infection with the Lyme spirochete as well.
A positive PCR result from the DNA ConneXions® Lyme Disease Test indicates the presence of DNA from B. burgdorferi and/or other co-infectors. A negative result does not prove a patient is not infected with a tick-borne infection, rather it indicates the absence of detectable Lyme and/or other tick borne co-infections. A patient’s ability to fight the disease, stage of infection, and timing of courses of antibiotics are only some of the factors that may affect the detectability of the spirochetes DNA.
The DNA ConneXions® Lyme Disease Test detects the causative agent of Lyme Disease, Borrelia burgdorferi, in addition to 10 other common vector borne pathogens.
This test utilizes either a Super Floss or Urine sample. Our simple, non-invasive sampling methods makes our Lyme Disease Test easy to take for the WHOLE family. Learn more about our Lyme Disease Test and watch our instructional urine collection sample video here.
What sets DNA ConneXions® Lyme Disease test apart from the other tests on the market?
The DNA ConneXions® assay is a direct testing method designed to detect the DNA of the causative organism(s) itself. Conversely, an immunological based assay is an indirect testing method designed to detect antibodies produced in response to the infection.
Our direct testing method is not dependent on the stage of infection or the patient’s immunological response.
