REAL TIME PCR DETECTION TEST KIT Bovichek® Mastitis multiplex

This qPCR kit is intended to detect S.aureus, S.agalactiae, S.uberis and S.dysgalactiae in the same reaction with a high sensitivity (milk, swabs, tissues).

DESCRIPTION:
This qPCR kit is intended to detect S.aureus, S.agalactiae, S.uberis and S.dysgalactiae in the same reaction with a high sensitivity.

SUMMARY AND EXPLANATION:
Mastitis is the most frequent and economically important infectious disease in dairy cattle. Several bacterial species can cause intramammary infections (IMI), either clinical or subclinical. Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus agalactiae Streptococcus dysgalactiae and Streptococcus uberis are among the most important. S. aureus is a ubiquitous bacterium considered as part of the normal flora. However, it is also a major agent of contagious mastitis. Infected cows usually remain chronically infected and spread the agent among the herd. S. agalactiae can only live and reproduce in the mammary gland. It’s mostly causing subclinical mastitis which tended to be chronic. S. dysgalactiae is another common pathogen that causes mastitis. It is commonly found on the environment, skin, udder, and reproductive organs of the animal. S. uberis is commonly causing both clinical and sub-clinical mastitis. It can colonize both animals and the environment and is predominantly found in manure and organic matter, including bedding materials. Bacterial culture has long served as the golden standard for mastitis testing. However, several studies have demonstrated that PCR-based assays could be useful to complement or to replace conventional bacteriological methods. Biovet Bovichek® Mastitis multiplex qPCR kit is intended to detect S.aureus, S.agalactiae, S.uberis and S.dysgalactiae in the same reaction with a high sensitivity.
