Recommended for targeted testing for Helicobacter pylori bacteria in water.
This mail-to-lab test package provides all required materials to properly collect and submit a sample for certified laboratory testing. Reported results will include detailed, quantified analysis of H. pylori.
While consuming water with H. pylori does not typically cause illness, H. pylori is an opportunistic pathogen that may lead to painful peptic or gastric ulcers in some individuals. H. pylori has been found in surface water, saltwater, and groundwater, and may be present due to nearby sewage or fecal matter contamination.
