Real Time PCR Detection Kit Streptococcus equi subsp. Equi

The Real Time PCR detection Kit Streptococcus equi subsp. Equi comprises a series of specific targeted reagents designed for Streptococcus equi subsp. equi detection by using qPCR.

GENERAL INFORMATION:Streptococcus equi subsp. equi is a Gram-positive bacterium capable of lysing red blood cells belonging to the Streptococcaceae family. S. equi subsp. equi affects horses mainly, causing a disease denominated “strangles” that produces enlarged lymph nodes which can obstruct the airway and cause suffocation. It is also capable of infecting humans with a suppressed immune system following close contact with horses. Infections with this pathogen are associated with high mortality and poor neurological outcome in human survivors.

KIT CHARACTERISTICS:
- Assay Mix Target composed by singleplex mixtures of specific forward/reverse primers and probe.
- Resuspension buffer
- DNase/RNase free water
- (OPTIONAL) Internal Control Assay Mix
- Mastermix solution
- Positive control
