ACANTHAMOEBA SPP

A complete qPCR kit for the detection of Acanthamoeba SPP

Acanthamoeba spp. are free-living amoebae commonly found in soil and water, with some species causing severe eye infections, granulomatous amebic encephalitis, and skin lesions in humans. These pathogens can also infect animals and are of concern in the water sector. Early detection of Acanthamoeba spp. is crucial to prevent severe infections, especially in immunocompromised individuals, and to differentiate them from other similar amoebae.

YouSeq's qPCR kit to detect Acanthamoeba spp. allows for sensitive and specific detection of these pathogens, enabling early diagnosis and treatment. Rapid detection can prevent unnecessary delays in treatment and reduce the risk of severe complications, ultimately improving patient outcomes. The ability to accurately detect Acanthamoeba spp. is essential in clinical, environmental, and water testing settings.
