Real Time PCR Detection Kit Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae omIA I

TheReal Time PCR detection Kit Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae omIA I comprises a series of specific targeted reagents designed for Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae omlA I detection by using qPCR.

GENERAL INFORMATION:Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (previously Haemophilus pleuropneumoniae) is a non-motile, Gram-negative, encapsulated coccobacillus from the family Pasteurellaceae. It causes porcine pleuropneumonia, a highly contagious respiratory disease in young pigs, particularly under 6 months old. Symptoms include respiratory distress, bloodstained discharge, fever, cyanosis, anorexia, and spontaneous abortion in sows. Mortality rates can reach 20-80% in fattening pigs, with high morbidity. Survivors often become carriers, further spreading the infection. There are two biotypes and at least 15 serotypes, all of which can cause disease. The variation in virulence between serotypes is attributed to the differential expression of virulence factors, including the omlA gene, which encodes a key outer membrane lipoprotein crucial for pathogenicity. A. pleuropneumoniae strains expressing omlA I are typically linked to more severe forms of porcine pleuropneumonia, causing a significant impact in pork production and pig farming due to its prevalence and severity.
