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.

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.

Strongylus vulgaris detection test kit by using qPCR. Strongylus vulgaris (commonly known as the blood worm), is a common horse parasite in the phylum Nematoda. S. vulgaris is responsible verminous arteritis and is a common cause of colic in horses. Symptoms can range from weightless or dull hair coat to diarrhea, weakness, anorexia and anemia.

Suid herpesvirus 1 detection test kit by using qPCR. Suid herpesvirus 1 is responsible of Aujeszky’s disease in swine, usually called pseudorabies. Aujeszky’s disease is considered to be the most economically important viral disease of swine in areas where classical swine fever (hog cholera) has been eradicated. Other mammals, such as cattle, sheep, goats, horses, cats, dogs, and raccoons, are also susceptible. In piglets, signs are much more severe and many die within 2 days.

Swine H1N1 influenza A virus detection test kit by using qPCR. Swine H1N1 influenza A virus is one of the subtypes responsible for swine influenza, which can infect humans through a zoonotic transmission from pigs to humans. It is now a human seasonal flu virus that also circulates in pigs. Like the regular flu, swine flu can lead to more serious problems including pneumonia, lung infection, and other breathing problems.

Swine influenza A virus (H1N1, H3N2 and H1N2) detection test kit by using qPCR. There are different subtypes of influenza A known to affect swine, but the three common strains are H1N1, H1N2 and H3N2. Swine influenza A virus is responsible for swine influenza, also called pig influenza, swine flu, hog flu and pig flu. Swine influenza virus is common throughout pig populations worldwide. In pigs, influenza infection produces fever, lethargy, sneezing, coughing, difficulty breathing and decreased appetite.

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.

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.

Detection test kit of Theileria equi, by using qPCR. Theileria equi, formerly known as Babesia equi, or Nutallia equi, apicomplexa, order Piroplasmida, family Theileriidae, is together with Babesia caballi, the causative agents of equine piroplasmosis. T.equi has an extended geographical distribution and even in tropical regions, it occurs more frequently than B. caballi, also in the Mediterranean basin, Switzerland and the SW of France.
