BactoReal® Kit Mycoplasma suis

Detection of the 16S rRNA gene of Mycoplasma suis

Background: Mycoplasma suis (formerly called Eperythrozoon suis) belongs to the hemotrophic mycoplasma group. It is the cause of swine eperythrozoonosis. Acute disease is associated with severe bacteremia and acute hemolytic anemia. In chronically infected pigs clinical signs range from mild icteroanemia, poor growth rates to bad reproductive performance.

Description: BactoReal® Kit Mycoplasma suis uses real-time PCR for the detection of the 16S rDNA gene of M. suis. Our carefully designed primers and probe ensure highest sensitivity and specificity. The kit consists of an assay mix for the detection of the pathogen as well as a positive control and an internal positive control (IPC). To minimize PCR cross-contamination,the reaction mix included contains dUTP and uracil-N glycosylase (UNG).
