BactoReal® Kit Mycoplasma synoviae

Detection of the vlhA gene of Mycoplasma synoviae

Background: Avian mycoplasmosis is caused by several pathogenic mycoplasmae. Mycoplasma gallisepticum and Mycoplasma synoviae are the most important avian pathogens. In addition, Mycoplasma meleagridis and Mycoplasma iowae can also cause disease in poultry, but Mycoplasma gallisepticum and Mycoplasma synoviae are considered the main species of pathogenic mycoplasmae. Mycoplasma gallisepticum and Mycoplasma synoviae cause chronic respiratory disease (CRD) and infectious synovitis of chickens and turkeys especially in the presence of stresses or other respiratory pathogens, causing economic losses due to decrease in growth rate, loss of weight and reduced egg production.

Description: BactoReal® Kit Mycoplasma synoviae uses real-time PCR for the detection of the vlhA gene (haemagglutinin encoding gene) gene of M. synoviae. 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).
