Detection test kit of Foodborne Poisoning (Salmonella spp., Listeria monocytogenes and shiga toxins 1 and 2) by using qPCR. Foodborne poisoning is any illness resulting from food contaminated with a disease-causing agent such as pathogenic bacteria, viruses, or parasites. The foodborne illness usually arises from improper handling, preparation, or food storage. Good hygiene practices before, during, and after food preparation can reduce the chances of contracting an illness. The action of monitoring food, to ensure that it will not cause foodborne illness, is known as food safety. As bacteria are a common cause of foodborne illness, there are three main targets controlled by food safety normative: Salmonella spp., Listeria monocytogenes, and more recently the Shiga toxigenic group of Escherichia coli (STEC). Shiga toxins have many names, which can be used interchangeably (shiga toxins, shiga-like toxins, cytotoxins, verocytotoxins, verotoxins). STEC live in the guts of ruminant animals, including cattle, goats, sheep, deer, and elk.
Listeria innocua detection test kit by using qPCR. Listeria innocua is harmless to other organisms. It lacks the 10-kb virulence locus, present in L. monocytogenes, that is needed for pathogenicity. It is widely found in the environment (such as soil) and food sources. Can survive in extreme pH and temperature, as well as high salt concentration.
Listeria ivanovii detection test kit by using qPCR. Listeria ivanovii it behaves like L. monocytogenes but is found almost exclusively in ruminants (mainly sheep). Infection with L. ivanovii can lead to septicemic disease with enteritis, neonatal sepsis and even abortion. Pregnant ruminants are therefore most at risk. Human zoonosis is described but extremely rare.
Campylobacter spp. detection test kit by using qPCR. The genus Campylobacter comprises a diverse group of Gram-negative bacteria, which colonize the mucosal surfaces of the intestinal tracts, oral cavities, or urogenital tracts of a wide range of bird and mammal hosts. Currently, the genus Campylobacter contains more than 15 species but the most commonly isolated pathogenic species are C. jejuni, C. coli and C. fetus. C. jejuni and C. coli are responsible for human gastroenteritis and C. fetus usually causes abortions in cattle and sheep.
Vibrio parahaemolyticus by using qPCR. Vibrio parahaemolyticus when ingested, causes gastrointestinal illness in humans. While infection can occur via the fecal-oral route, ingestion of bacteria in raw or undercooked seafood, usual oysters, is the predominant cause of the acute gastroenteritis caused by V. parahaemolyticus. Wound infections also occur, but are less common than seafood-borne diseases.
