REAL TIME PCR DETECTION TEST KIT Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae Swinecheck

qPCR kit for the detection of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae in in various pig samples (lungs, oral fluids, nasal secretions, etc.)

DESCRIPTION:
This kit is a qPCR assay for the detection of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae genome in porcine sample.

SUMMARY AND EXPLANATION:
Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae belongs to the class Mollicutes and is the etiological agent of Porcine Enzootic Pneumonia. This agent affects mostly the growing and finishing pigs resulting in persistent cough and growth retardation. M. hyopneumoniae is also implicated in the pathogenesis of porcine respiratory disease complex (PRDC), a disease involving both bacterial and viral (PRRS, PCV2, ADV and porcine respiratory coronavirus) pathogens.
Bacteriological culture, the ‘gold standard’ technique used to diagnose M. hyopneumoniae infection, is laborious and not used routinely. Serological tests (ELISA) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) detection methods, are techniques most frequently used to investigate the potential involvement of this pathogen in porcine respiratory disease.
Biovet Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae one MIX is intended for the detection and/or quantification of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae in various samples from swine such as nasal secretions, oral fluids or lungs.

CHARACTERISTICS:
- Test per kit: 50 samples
- qPCR Results within two hours
