BORDETELLA PERTUSSIS

A complete qPCR kit for the detection of Bordetella pertussis

Bordetella pertussis, also known as whooping cough, is a highly contagious bacterial pathogen that primarily affects the respiratory system. The symptoms include severe coughing fits, often accompanied by a distinctive 'whooping' sound, and can be especially dangerous for infants and young children. It is important to detect this pathogen early in human healthcare settings to prevent outbreaks and potential severe complications.

YouSeq's qPCR kit to detect Bordetella pertussis allows for rapid and highly sensitive detection of the pathogen, enabling healthcare professionals to quickly diagnose and treat patients. Early detection of this target is crucial to prevent the spread of whooping cough, especially in vulnerable populations such as children and the elderly. Additionally, timely detection can help reduce the economic burden of managing outbreaks and ensuring public health safety.
