This real-time PCR (qPCR) kit allows detecting Salmonella Dublin, Typhimurium and Salmonella spp

Streptococcus agalactiae detection test kit by using qPCR. Streptococcus agalactiae (also known as group B Streptococcus) was originally discovered as a cause of bovine mastitis (present also in related ungulates) and is part of the normal bacterial flora colonizing the gastrointestinal tract and genitourinary tract of the human population. S. agalactiae poses a serious threat to lives of neonates and to lives of human. This microorganism is considered one of the major causes of economic losses to dairy producers without a control program.

Streptococcus equi subsp.zooepidemicus detection test kit by using qPCR. Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus is a pathogen of animals primarily affecting horses, in whom it can cause diseases in the upper respiratory tract, uterus, umbilicus, and wounds; but its host range also includes swine, ruminants, guinea pig, monkeys, cats, dogs, poultry, and human. Zoonotic transmission of S. equi subsp. zooepidemicus is rare and is usually associated with drinking unpasteurized milk or through contact with horses by persons who usually have underlying health conditions.

Streptococcus spp. detection test kit by using qPCR. Streptococcus are not pathogenic and form part of the commensal microbiota of the mouth, skin, intestine, and upper respiratory tract. However, some Streptococcus species infect a barrage of different animals, including humans, with diseases such as pink eye, meningitis, bacterial pneumonia, endocarditis, erysipelas and necrotizing fasciitis. Some of these relevant pathogenic species are S. agalactiae, S. dysgalactiae, S. bovis, S. suis, S. pneumoniae or S. gallolyticus.

Taylorella equigenitalis detection test kit by using qPCR. Taylorella equigenitalis is the causative agent of contagious equine metritis in horses. The disease is an inflammatory sexually transmitted disease that is found in both males and females. Once the disease is contracted in the mare, the most common affection is infertility and in pregnant mares, abortion is expected. Other effects in mares, such as cervicitis, endometritis, and varying severities of vaginitis, can occur and occasionally have fatal outcomes.

Trueperella pyogenes (syn. Arcanobacterium pyogenes) detection test kit by using qPCR. Trueperella pyogenes (formerly Arcanobacterium pyogenes) is found in the skin and mucosa of cattle, goats, horses, musk deer, pigs, and sheep, and less frequently appears in birds such as pigeons and turkeys. Under specific and favorable conditions it is involved in cutaneous and systemic abscesses, mastitis, metritis, and pneumonia.

Ureaplasma diversum by using qPCR. Ureaplasma diversum is a common inhabitant of the vagina and prepuce of cattle which has been associated with various reproductive problems. In cows, vaginitis is a common symptom, with endometritis, salpingitis, early embryonic death, weak calves, and decreased conception rates also reported during and after pregnancy. In bulls, balanoposthitis, impaired spermatozoids, and seminal vesiculitis have been observed. Abortions are usually single, but severe outbreaks occur on occasion.

Evaluate the expression of four virulence factors (fedA, faeG, eae and toxA from Escherichia coli) by using qPCR. toxA, coding for the heat-labile enterotoxin (LT); eae, coding for the intimine; fedA, coding for the F18 fimbriae and faeG, coding for the F4 fimbriae. Post-weaning diarrhea is an important enteric disease that usually occurs shortly after weaning and is characterized by watery diarrhea, dehydration, loss of body weight, and the death of infected pigs. This diarrhea is responsible for important economic losses due to mortality, morbidity, decreased growth rate and cost of medication. Escherichia coli is one of the most important causes of the increasing worldwide outbreaks of post-weaning diarrhea, causing sudden death or severe diarrhoea. The PCR identification of virulence factors of E. coli from fecal samples is normally used for the diagnosis of pathogenic isolates.

This qPCR kit is intended to detect S.aureus, S.agalactiae, S.uberis and S.dysgalactiae
