1. A method, comprising:
- a) amplifying polynucleotides of at least N different microorganisms present in a sample obtained from an animal, wherein N>
1;
b) determining, based on the amplified polynucleotides, microbiome data comprising data indicative of at least one of a presence and an abundance of each of the N microorganisms; and
c) determining, based on the microbiome data and on prior data related to the N microorganisms, data related to a condition of the animal.

Abstract
A method for determining data related to a microbiome of a human includes isothermally amplifying polynucleotides of at least N different microorganisms present in a sample obtained from the human, wherein N>1, determining, based on the amplified polynucleotides, microbiome data comprising data indicative of at least one of a presence and an abundance of each of the N microorganisms, and determining, based on the microbiome data and prior data related to the N microorganisms, data related to a condition of the animal.

16. A method of screening a sample obtained from a human subject at point of care or point of presence to determine the identity of one or more microorganisms present or potentially present in the sample, the method comprising the steps;
-
obtaining a sample from the human subject;
processing the sample;applying the processed sample to an assay device; operating the assay device to perform at least one isothermal nucleic acid amplification cycle to amplify the nucleic acid content of the sample; performing further isothermal nucleic acid amplification cycles to amplify defined sequences if present know to be associated with particular microorganisms; identifying the microorganisms present in the sample based on the amplified nucleic acid; and reporting to a user the specie or species of microorganism present in the sample. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44)

- 29. A method of determining the microbiome profile of an individual comprising receiving a sample from the individual, performing isothermal nucleic acid amplification of a nucleic acid associated with at least one microorganism, and detecting the amplified nucleic acid product, wherein the detected products are used to build a profile of the individual'"'"'s microbiome.
