Arcobacter spp. detection test kit by using qPCR. Some Arcobacter species can cause diarrhea in humans and animals, for this reason, has been classified as emergent pathogens by the International Commission on Microbial Specifications for Foods.

Bacillus anthracis detection test kit by using qPCR. Bacillus anthracis is a Gram-positive, endospore-forming belonging to Bacillaceae family. B. anthracis is the etiologic agent of anthrax a common disease of livestock and, occasionally, of humans, and the only obligate pathogen within the genus Bacillus.

Bacillus cereus detection test kit by using qPCR. Gram-positive bacterium commonly found in soil and food. B. cereus is commonly known to cause food-borne intoxications, it has been additionally reported to cause local and systemic infections, as an opportunistic pathogen, especially among immunocompromised patients, newborns, and patients with surgical wounds.

Bacillus licheniformis detection test kit by using qPCR. It is found in a wide variety of environments, but mainly in soil and bird feathers, especially chest and back plumage. B. licheniformis is commonly known to cause food poisoning and food spoilage, especially dairy. In humans can cause infections mainly in immunocompromised patients. Animals infected by B. licheniformis have similar symptoms and produces issues during gestation as necro suppurative placentitis.

Bifidobacterium spp. detection test kit by using qPCR. They are ubiquitous inhabitants of the gastrointestinal tract, vagina, and mouth of mammals, including humans. Bifidobacterium is one of the major genera of bacteria that make up the gastrointestinal tract microbiota in mammals. Some Bifidobacterium strains are considered important probiotics and used in the food industry.
