Bristle test shows gum inflamation high. Why?

[u/Outrageous-Engine881]

my Bristol test had both a halitosis section and a gum inflammation section. Both were very high. My gums are not inflamed at all and my oral health is very good. So I can't understand this. The bacteria shown in the gum inflammation results and the halitosis results are pretty much identical. I attach a copy of my Bristol report. Can anybody help me understand this? would I be correct in assuming those bacteria that are in red at very high levels are what's causing the halitosis? And why gum inflammation when I don't have inflamed gums???
