Streptococcus dysgalactiae qPCR Kit

Streptococcus dysgalactiae is a gram-positive bacterium commonly found in the environment and as part of the normal microbiota in humans and animals. However, it can also cause a range of infections in the same hosts, including skin and soft tissue infections, as well as invasive diseases such as septicemia and endocarditis. Streptococcus dysgalactiae qPCR Kit is designed for the in vitro detection of Streptococcus dysgalactiae genomes and differentiation from other Streptococcus species, specially S. canis.

The kit is built to have the broadest possible detection profile whilst remaining specific to S. dysgalactiae. Thus, this kit has been designed for the specific (inclusivity) and exclusive (exclusivity) in vitro detection of this species. The primers and probes sequences have very high (>95%) homology with a broad range of S. dysgalactiae genomes based on a comprehensive bioinformatic analysis with all reference data within the NCBI database at the time of design. This kit was meticulously designed and validated to meet the rigorous criteria of a quantitative assay. However, it is important to note that the provided Positive Control is not intended for quantification purposes.

We recommend checking NZYtech website for the availability of a suitable Quantitative Standard for an accurate quantification. In alternative, commercially genomic DNA standards can also be used. If required, a complementary kit for the detection of an endogenous gene of the species from which samples are being extracted is available at NZYtech (see https://nzytech.com/en/molecular-diagnostics/). The complementary usage of an Endogenous Detection reaction provides a solid confirmation that nucleic acids were properly extracted from the selected biological matrix. If you require further information or have a specific question about the detection profile of this kit, please send an e-mail to info@nzytech.com and our scientific team will answer your question. This kit is designed to be used by trained users in a suitable molecular biology laboratory environment.
