Bacteria

Canine diseases Ehrlichia spp., Anaplasma spp., Babesia spp., Leishmania spp., Brucella spp. and Dirofilaria immitis detection test kit by using qPCR. Infectious diseases in dogs are caused by a wide variety of infectious agents including viruses, bacteria, and parasites (protozoa and helminths). Most of them have their own morbidity and mortality in dogs and some of these infections are of zoonotic relevance, thus also posing a risk to the human population. Among the most common infections in dogs are Ehrlichia spp., Anaplasma spp., Babesia spp., Leishmania spp., Brucella spp., Dirofilaria immitis.

Detection test kit of Tritrichomonas foetus, Campylobacter fetus and Campylobacter fetus subsp. venerealis by using qPCR. There are multiple causes of cattle abortion. Diagnosis and control are problematic because these diseases are clinically asymptomatic. The use of current methods as qPCR can improve early diagnosis to control some bovine sexually transmitted diseases. The panel is designed with 3 organisms related to cattle abortion: Tritrichomonas foetus, Campylobacter fetus and Campylobacter fetus subsp. venerealis.

Chlamydia abortus detection test kit by using qPCR. Formerly classified as ruminant C. psittaci serotype 1. C. abortus is endemic among ruminants and is responsible for producing spontaneous abortion, stillbirth, or delivery of weak lambs. It has been also associated with abortion in horses, rabbits, guinea pigs, mice, pigs, and humans. C. abortus infection generally remains inapparent until an animal aborts late in gestation or gives birth to a weak or dead fetus.

Detection test kit of 3 species of Chlamydophila spp. (C.felis, C. psittaci, and C. abortus) by using qPCR. Chlamydia felis is an intracellular Gram-negative bacterium endemic among house cats. Chlamydophila psittaci is a lethal intracellular bacterial species that may cause endemic avian chlamydiosis, epizootic outbreaks in mammals, and respiratory psittacosis in humans. C. psittaci is transmitted by inhalation, contact, or ingestion among birds and mammals. Endemic throughout the world, C. abortus is the most common cause of infectious abortion in small ruminants (sheep and goats). It also causes abortion in cattle and pigs and represents a significant zoonotic risk to pregnant women.

Chlamydia pecorum detection test kit by using qPCR. Also known as Chlamydophila pecorum it has been isolated only from mammals: cattle, sheep, goats (ruminants), koalas (marsupials), and swine. The most important manifestations including infectious arthritis, infertility, enteritis, reduced growth rates, mastitis, and pneumonia.

Chlamydia suis detection test kit by using qPCR. The only known natural host is the pig. C. suis in pigs has been associated with conjunctivitis, rhinitis, pneumonia, enteritis, periparturient dysgalactiae syndrome, reproductive disorders, and inferior semen quality and apparently asymptomatic infections.

Clostridium spp. detection test kit by using qPCR. Clostridium genus contains around 100 species that include common free-living bacteria, as well as important pathogens. The main species responsible for diseases are: Clostridium botulinum causes botulism; Clostridium difficile causes diarrhoea; Clostridium perfringens causes gas gangrene; Clostridium tetani causes tetanus and Clostridium sordellii can cause a fatal infection in exceptionally rare cases after medical abortions.

Coxiella burnetii detection test kit by using qPCR. It is an obligate intracellular bacterial pathogen and is the causative agent of Q fever. C. burnetii is highly resistant to environmental stresses such as high temperature, osmotic pressure, and ultraviolet light. This organism may be found in cattle, sheep, goats, and other domestic mammals, including cats and dogs.

Ehrlichia species by using qPCR. Ehrlichia spp. can cause infection (Ehrlichiosis) in humans. These diseases are considered zoonotic as the main reservoir for the pathogen is in animals, usually mammals species. These agents are transmitted through the bite of an infected tick. Rodents, deer, roe deer, foxes, cattle, sheep, goats, horses, and dogs are reservoirs of these bacteria. Infection in humans is manifested as a nonspecific flu-like illness.

Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae detection test kit by using qPCR. It has been recognized as a pathogen in animals, particularly swine but is ubiquitous in nature and has been reported to be a colonizer of fish, shellfish, birds, and even insects. E. rhusiopathiae causes a disease known as erysipelas in animals and erysipeloid in humans. Infections commonly present in a mild cutaneous form.

Detection test kit of Escherichia coli by using qPCR. Some E. coli are pathogenic, meaning they can cause illness, either diarrhea or illness outside of the intestinal tract. The types of E. coli that can cause diarrhea can be transmitted through contaminated water or food, or through contact with animals or persons.

Virulence fimbrial genes from Escherichia coli F5, F17 and F41 detection test kit by using qPCR. Most E. coli strains are harmless, but some serotypes are pathogenic and can cause serious food poisoning in animals and humans. F5, F17 and F41 are relevant fimbrial genes related to enterotoxigenic and uropathogenic strains of E. coli.

Detection test kit of 10 different virulence genes from Escherichia coli by using qPCR. Some E. coli are pathogenic, meaning they can cause illness, either diarrhea or illness outside of the intestinal tract. The types of E. coli that can cause diarrhea can be transmitted through contaminated water or food, or through contact with animals or persons. Virulence genes detected include the Aerobactin synthase (iucC), Ligand-gated channel protein (fyuA), Ferric enterobactin receptor (iroN) and Aerobaction siderophore ferric receptor (iutA), all of them involved in iron transport under iron-stressed conditions; Temperature-sensitive hemagglutinin tsh autotransporter (tsh) can act both as an adhesin and as a serine protease; Colicin-V immunity protein (cvi) protects a cell against colicin V; Protein iss (iss) increases serum survival and confers group II surface exclusion; Chaperone protein (fimC) required for the biogenesis of type 1 fimbriae; ompT protein (ompT) aspartyl protease found on the outer membrane and Hemolysin F (hlyF) fatty-acyl-CoA reductase activity.

Feline disease pathogens Bartonella henselae, Cytauxzoon spp., Leishmania spp., Anaplasma phagocytophilum, and Mycoplasmas Haemo Group detection test kit by using qPCR. Infectious diseases in cats are caused by a wide variety of infectious agents including bacteria, protozoa, and helminths. This panel is designed to detect most of the common infections in cats as Bartonella henselae, Cytauxzoon spp., Leishmania spp., Anaplasma phagocytophilum, and Mycoplasmas Haemo Group which includes, among other haemoplasmas, Mycoplasma haemofelis, Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominutum, and Candidatus Mycoplasma turicensis.

Detection test kit of Gallibacterium anatis by using qPCR. Also known as Pasteurella anatis, cause zoonotic infections in humans that manifest themselves as skin or soft tissue infections after an animal bite. This species is a pathogen of poultry. The species Gallibacterium anatis is of particular interest in veterinary medicine because it infects the reproductive organs of laying hens, reducing egg production.

Haemophilus parasuis detection test kit by using qPCR. Haemophilus parasuis is one of the most important bacteria affecting pigs. Neonatal pigs are exposed to and colonized by the organism early in life but the pathogenesis is poorly understood. Some serotypes are responsible for Glasser’s disease, where affected pigs can die in less than two days. H. parasuis is present in all major swine-rearing countries and remains a significant pathogen in contemporary swine production systems.
