Bacteria in Humans

Methicillin resistance gene detection test kit by using qPCR. Methicillin resistance gene most common carriers are Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) or Streptococcus pneumoniae. The methicillin resistance allows a bacterium to be resistant to β-lactam antibiotics which include the penicillins (methicillin, dicloxacillin, nafcillin, oxacillin, etc) and other cephalosporins.

Mycobacterium leprae detection test kit by using qPCR. Mycobacterium leprae is spreaded through the skin and nasal mucosa. Common results of the immune response are loss of sensation and disfiguration. Chronic inflammation can lead to this paralysis, specifically along the periphery, and can affect facial regions, contributing to factors such as blindness.

Mycobacterium spp. detection test kit by using qPCR. Mycobacterium are widespread organisms, typically living in water and food sources. Some, however, including tuberculosis and leprosy organisms, appear to be obligate parasites and are not found as free-living members of the genus. Over 190 species are recognized in this genus which includes pathogens known to cause serious diseases in mammals.

Detection test kit of all species contained in the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex, by using qPCR. MTplex refers to a genetically closely related group of Mycobacterium species that may cause tuberculosis. At present, the group includes: M. tuberculosis, M. africanum, M.bovis and M.bovis BCG, M. microti, M. canettii, M.pinnipedii, M. mungi.

Detection test kit of Porphyromonas gingivalis by using qPCR. Porphyromonas gingivalis resides in the mouth below the gingival surface. It is one of the common pathogens in early-onset periodontitis. It is usually found with, Treptonema denticola and Bacteroides forsythus. Despite is usually found in the oral cavity, as well could be in the upper gastrointestinal tract, respiratory tract, and in colon.

Prevotella intermedia by using qPCR. Prevotella intermedia (formerly Bacteroides intermedius) is involved in periodontal infections, including gingivitis and periodontitis, and often found in acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis. It is commonly isolated from dentoalveolar abscesses, where obligate anaerobes predominate. P. intermedia is thought to be more prevalent in patients with noma known also as cancrum oris.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa by using qPCR. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common bacterium that can cause disease in animals, including humans. It is found in soil, water, skin flora, and most man-made environments throughout the world. The symptoms of such infections are generalized inflammation and sepsis. If such colonization occurs in critical body organs, such as the lungs, the urinary tract, and kidneys, the results can be fatal.

Detection test kit of Rickettsia spp. by using qPCR. Rickettsia are carried by many ticks, fleas, and lice, and cause diseases in humans such as typhus, rickettsialpox, Boutonneuse fever, African tick bite fever, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Flinders Island spotted fever and Queensland tick typhus (Australian Tick Typhus). They have also been associated with a range of plant diseases.

Detection test kit of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Paratyphi A species by using qPCR. Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Paratyphi A (also referred to as Salmonella Paratyphi A) is responsible for causing paratyphoid fever in humans. Salmonella Paratyphi A has a significant and emerging global public health problem. As the bacteria only infect humans.

Salmonella enterica subsp.enterica serovar Typhimurium detection test kit by using qPCR. Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica sv. Typhimurium (commonly known as Salmonella Typhimurium) is a pathogenic Gram-negative bacterium predominately found in the intestinal lumen. It causes gastroenteritis in humans and other mammals, usually due to ingestion of contaminated food.

Shigella spp. detection test kit by using qPCR. Shigella is closely related to E. coli. Shigella is the causative agent of human shigellosis, affecting primates, but not in other mammals. It is only naturally found in humans and gorillas. During infection, it typically causes dysentery. Shigella is one of the leading bacterial causes of diarrhea worldwide.

Detection by qPCR of all strains of the species Staphylococcus aureus. Staphylococcus aureus is a common cause of skin infections (e.g.boils), respiratory disease (e.g.sinusitis), and food poisoning. Disease-associated strains often promote infections by producing potent protein toxins and expressing cell-surface proteins that bind and inactivate antibodies. The emergence of antibiotic-resistant forms of pathogenic S. aureus (e.g.MRSA) is a worldwide problem in clinical medicine.

Staphylococcus epidermidis detection test kit by using qPCR. Staphylococcus epidermidis is an important opportunistic pathogen, being the most frequent cause of nosocomial infections. S. epidermidis is capable of growing and form biofilms in catheters or other surgical implants, producing infections difficult to treat with antibiotics.

Detection test kit of Tannerella forsythia by using qPCR. Tannerella forsythia (previously named Bacteroides forsythus) is an anaerobic, gram negative species of bacteria strongly associated with chronic periodontitis, an inflammatory disease of the tooth-supporting tissues, leading to tooth loss.

Total Bacteria DNA detection test kit by using qPCR. The bacterial load can be an interesting parameter to evaluate the microbial contamination degree in a sample. Please note that PCR may detect all genomic content, including the genomes from dead cells, and this may result in higher genomic counts with respect to living cells.

Detection test kit of Treponema denticola by using qPCR. Treponema denticola is associated with the incidence and severity of human periodontal disease. Treponema denticola levels in the mouth are elevated in patients with periodontal diseases and the species is considered one of the main etiological agents of periodontitis.
