BactoReal® Kit Mannheimia haemolytica

Detection of the 16S rRNA gene of Mannheimia haemolytica

Background: Mannheimia haemolytica (formerly Pasteurella haemolytica) is an opportunistic pathogen of cattle, sheep and other ruminants. It causes epizootic pneumonia in cattle known as shipping fever, transit fever or pneumonic pasteurellosis. Mannheimia haemolytica constitutes part of the normal bacterial flora found in the upper respiratory tract of most cattle but is not considered as normal flora of the lungs. It gains access to the lungs when host defenses are compromised by stress or infection with respiratory viruses or mycoplasma.

Description: BactoReal® Kit Mannheimia haemolytica uses real-time PCR for the detection of the 16S rDNA gene of M. haemolytica. Our carefully designed primers and probe ensure highest sensitivity and specificity. The kit consists of an assay mix for the detection of the pathogen as well as a positive control and an internal positive control (IPC). To minimize PCR cross-contamination,the reaction mix included contains dUTP and uracil-N glycosylase (UNG).
