Real Time PCR Detection Kit Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus - TwoTarget

Brand: GPCRs
Designed for qPCR Detection test kit of Methicillin-resistant strains of the species Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). It is also called multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and oxacillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (ORSA). MRSA is any strain of Staphylococcus aureus that has developed resistance to β-lactam antibiotics, which include the penicillins (methicillin, dicloxacillin, nafcillin, oxacillin, etc.) and the cephalosporins.

Background:Designed for qPCR detection of Methicillin-resistant strains of the species Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a bacterium responsible for several difficult-to-treat infections in humans. It is also called multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and oxacillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (ORSA). MRSA is any strain of Staphylococcus aureus that has developed resistance to β-lactam antibiotics, which include the penicillins (methicillin, dicloxacillin, nafcillin, oxacillin, etc.) and the cephalosporins.
The evolution of such resistance does not cause the organism to be more intrinsically virulent than strains of Staphylococcus aureus that have no antibiotic resistance, but resistance does make MRSA infection more difficult to treat with standard types of antibiotics and thus more dangerous. Methicillin resistance arises by the acquisition of a staphylococcal cassette chromosome SCCmec and is conferred by the Methicillin resistance gene (MRG). Expression of this gene yields PBP2a, a penicillin-binding protein with reduced affinity for β-lactam rings (the primary active site of the β-lactam antibiotics). Earlier studies have underlined the important role of the enzymatic family FemXAB (factor essential for methicillin resistance) in the formation of the pentaglycine bridges that stabilize peptidoglycan chains inS. aureus. The MRG test detects the gene responsible for antibiotic resistance. StaAur test detects a chromosomal gene-specific of S. aureus.

Real Time PCR Detection Kit Staphylococcus aureus

Detection by qPCR of all strains of the species Staphylococcus aureus. Staphylococcus aureus is a common cause of skin infections (e.g.boils), respiratory disease (e.g.sinusitis), and food poisoning. Disease-associated strains often promote infections by producing potent protein toxins and expressing cell-surface proteins that bind and inactivate antibodies. The emergence of antibiotic-resistant forms of pathogenic S. aureus (e.g.MRSA) is a worldwide problem in clinical medicine.

Real Time PCR Detection Kit Staphylococcus epidermidis

Staphylococcus epidermidis detection test kit by using qPCR. Staphylococcus epidermidis is an important opportunistic pathogen, being the most frequent cause of nosocomial infections. S. epidermidis is capable of growing and form biofilms in catheters or other surgical implants, producing infections difficult to treat with antibiotics.

Real Time PCR Detection Kit Methicillin resistance gene

Methicillin resistance gene detection test kit by using qPCR. Methicillin resistance gene most common carriers are Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) or Streptococcus pneumoniae. The methicillin resistance allows a bacterium to be resistant to β-lactam antibiotics which include the penicillins (methicillin, dicloxacillin, nafcillin, oxacillin, etc) and other cephalosporins.

Real Time PCR Detection Kit Enterococcus spp.

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.

Real Time PCR Detection Kit Shigella spp.

Shigella spp. detection test kit by using qPCR. Shigella is closely related to E. coli. Shigella is the causative agent of human shigellosis, affecting primates, but not in other mammals. It is only naturally found in humans and gorillas. During infection, it typically causes dysentery. Shigella is one of the leading bacterial causes of diarrhea worldwide.
