These critical data points help in tailoring treatments to effectively combat drug-resistant microbes – promoting better health outcomes and antibiotic stewardship.

Detailed Health Insights: Alongside microbial detection, MensKEY can assess urine biomarkers and pH levels, providing deeper insights into your urinary health – via the Urine Analysis add-on. A full STI panel, the other optional add-on, further enhances the scope of your health assessment. AI-Enabled Microbe Classification: Powered by AI and the latest scientific research, the advanced Urine Pathogenicity Report enhances your healthcare provider’s insight into your condition as it algorithmically categorizes each microbe in your urine sample as: C – Commensal: A microbe that plays a neutral or helpful role in the urinary microbiome. P – Pathogen: A microbe that may be harming the urinary microbiome. U – Unknown: A microbe whose impact on the urinary microbiome is unknown. The Urine Pathogenicity Report is a consultation tool that gives doctors clarity into the scientific consensus of a particular microbe’s role, aiding in patient care decisions. These results serve as a helpful starting point for your doctor’s diagnostic and treatment processes. It’s important to note that your provider will make treatment decisions at their own discretion, considering your medical history. Moreover, the Urine Pathogenicity Report produces the best results for non-immunocompromised patients. Immuno-compromised patients will receive results that do not account for the effects of their specific conditions.
