# Is the stool sample also tested for Candida?

Find out whether the myBioma microbiome-test can also identify Candida and what needs to be considered here.

No, _Candida_ is a fungus and is not tested with the myBioma microbiome-test. We analyse the DNA of bacteria using the 16S Next-Generation gene sequencing method and can thus identify about 5.000 different bacteria.
