An innovative new stool test that unlocks the DNA of a person's gut bacteria has been launched in Queensland.

Microba is the first Australian company to offer gut bacteria DNA sequencing technology direct-to-consumers under a venture with the University of Queensland.

The stool test kits, now available to order through Microba's website, can give consumers an understanding of the species of bacteria and micro-organisms living in their gut and how they could be affecting their health.
