Detection test kit of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Enteritidis species by using qPCR. Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Enteritidis (also known as S. Enteritidis) is an important human pathogen that causes salmonellosis in humans. S. Enteritidis is passed to humans mainly through the consumption of contaminated poultry meat and eggs. Infection caused by S. enterica is the second most common cause of bacterial gastroenteritis (food poisoning).

Detection test kit of the species Listeria monocytogenes by using qPCR. Due to Listeria monocytogenes pathogenicity cuases meningitis in newborns (acquired transvaginally), pregnant mothers are often advised not to eat soft cheeses such as Brie, Camembert, feta, and fresh white cheese, which may be contaminated with and permit growth of L. monocytogenes. It is the third-most-common cause of meningitis in newborns.

Detection test kit of pathogenic strains of Vibrio cholerae by using qPCR. Some strains of V. cholerae cause the disease cholera. V. cholerae pathogenicity genes code for proteins directly or indirectly involved in the virulence of the bacteria. During infection, V. cholerae secretes cholera toxin, a protein that causes profuse, watery diarrhea. Colonization of the small intestine also requires the toxin coregulated pilus, a thin, flexible, filamentous appendage on the surface of bacterial cells.

Detection by using qPCR of species of the genus Salmonella. Salmonella cause illnesses such as typhoid fever, paratyphoid fever, and foodborne illnesses. Salmonella infections are zoonotic and can be transferred between humans and nonhuman animals. Many infections are due to the ingestion of contaminated food. Salmonella enterica subsp.enterica serovar Typhi can cause serious illness because of a special virulence factor and a capsule protein (virulence antigen). Salmonella typhi is adapted to humans and does not occur in other animals.
