Bacteria in Humans

Detection of the ctrA gene of Neisseria meningitidis

Detection of the 16S rRNA gene of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and the rpoB gene of Enterobacter spp.

Detection of the 23S rRNA gene of Staphylococcus spp. and the nuc gene of S. aureus

Detection of the lytA gene of S. pneumoniae and the 23S rRNA gene of Streptococcus spp.

Detection of the cfb gene of Streptococcus agalactiae

Detection of the lytA gene of Streptococcus pneumoniae

Detection of the groEL gene of Tropheryma whipplei

Detection of the vanA resistance gene and the 23S rRNA gene of Enterococcus spp

Acinetobacter baumannii detection test kit by using qPCR. Opportunistic pathogen in humans, important as a hospital-derived infection (nosocomial). It has also been isolated from soil and water samples in the environment.

Detection test kit of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans by using qPCR. Previously Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans found in association with localized aggressive periodontitis.

Bacteroides fragilis detection test kit by using qPCR. Enterotoxigenic B. fragilis is an emerging enteric pathogen associated with diarrhoeal diseases in children, adults, and animals. The pathogenicity of B. fragilis is related to its production of a potent enterotoxin.

Clostridium difficile detection test kit by using qPCR. Pathogenic C. difficile strains produce multiple toxins. The most characterized are enterotoxin (Clostridium difficile toxin A) and cytotoxin (Clostridium difficile toxin B), both of which may produce diarrhea and inflammation in infected patients. Most cases of Clostridium difficile colitis are nosocomial infections.

Enterococcus spp. detection test kit by using qPCR. The most common species are E. faecalis and E. faecium. Important clinical infections caused by Enterococcus species include urinary tract infections, bacteraemia, bacterial endocarditis, diverticulitis, and meningitis.

Fusobacterium nucleatum by using qPCR. Fusobacterium nucleatum, an opportunistic pathogen, is thought to promote dental plaque formation. It is one of the most common oral species isolated from extra-oral infections, including blood, brain, chest, lung, liver, joint, abdominal, obstetrical and gynecological infections and abscesses.

Helicobacter pylori detection test kit by using qPCR. Previously Campylobacter pylori it is found usually in the stomach. Individuals infected, have a 10 to 20% lifetime risk of developing peptic ulcers and a 1 to 2% risk of acquiring stomach cancer.

Klebsiella pneumoniae detection test kit by using qPCR. Klebsiella pneumoniae can cause different types of healthcare-associated infections, including pneumonia, bloodstream infections, wound or surgical infections, urinary tract infections, and meningitis. Despite the most common condition caused outside the hospital is pneumonia, in recent years, Klebsiella species have become important pathogens in nosocomial infections.
