EMMA Endometrial Microbiome Metagenomic Analysis

What is the endometrium and why does it matter?

• The endometrium is a tissue lining the interior of the uterus where the embryo implants and resides during pregnancy. Each month, the endometrium prepares for the arrival of an embryo. When this does not occur, menstruation begins.
• Problems with the endometrial lining are one of the leading causes of infertility in women. A healthy endometrium is rich in healthy bacteria: the endometrial flora. Infections with harmful bacteria can cause diseases of the endometrium, such as chronic endometritis.

What is EMMA test?

EMMA evaluates your endometrial microbiota detecting the most common bacteria present in the endometrium, including the good ones.

EMMA also includes the ALICE test  to identify the pathogenic bacteria most commonly associated with chronic endometritis.

We are then able to recommend the best probiotic and/or antibiotic treatment to balance your endometrial flora, improving your pregnancy prospects.

We have analyzed more than 70,000 clinical samples during 5 years of experience.

Thanks to our experience with EMMA&ALICE tests, we know which are the most often bacterial pathogens detected in the endometrium.

Based on this data, we have design the most comprehensive and precise panel, encompassing all clinically relevant bacteria, with most identified at the species level, enabling a more precise and targeted treatments.
