Has anyone had this done? How do they test for it? What is the procedure?

Here are a couple of recent threads by someone who had the test and the treatment:

Thread 1

Thread 2

You should also do a search, especially in the Research Library, for this - I'm pretty sure there's at least one article in there.

I had a test today for bacteria where I blew in a tube, drank some citrus stuff, waited half an hour and then blew in the tube again.
Simple, simple!
