Dublin, Jan. 19, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Human Microbiome Applications in IVD and Other Healthcare" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Human Microbiome Applications in IVD and Other Healthcare surveys the growing interest in the human microbiome in in vitro diagnostics (IVD) and other healthcare applications, touching on areas such as metagenomics, metabolomic profiling, and microbiome diagnostics, among others.

While study of the microbiome has attracted enthusiastic media attention and venture capital, its findings are largely preliminary. Still, some IVD companies have already launched tests to measure changes in the microbiome to monitor disease progress. Human Microbiome Applications in IVD and Other Healthcare notes selected molecular microbiome-based tests, microbiome-based diagnostic biomarkers, and precision or personalized medicine approaches to the microbiome.

Human Microbiome Applications in IVD and Other Healthcare notes pharmaceutical company interest in the microbiome as well. Spurred on by the Human Microbiome Project, pharmaceutical companies have become more interested in microbiome research. Many players in the microbiome market are amassing knowledge and data about the microbiome in order to partner with pharmaceutical firms interested in developing new therapeutics.

Microbiome-based therapeutic approaches are discussed, including fecal microbiota transplants (FMT) and selected novel therapies. Select current microbiome-related drug candidates are noted in Human Microbiome Applications in IVD and Other Healthcare as well.

Microbiome companies and start-ups offer a wide array of products and services. They can be roughly grouped into therapeutics-based companies, research-based companies, and direct-to-consumer service providers. Despite the fact that efforts to develop microbiome-based diagnostics and therapies remain in their early stages, microbiome companies have attracted significant investment, which is discussed in the report.
