CLOSTRIDIUM BOTULINUM

A complete qPCR kit for the detection of Clostridium botulinum

Clostridium botulinum is a gram-positive bacterium that produces neurotoxins causing botulism, a rare but serious illness that can lead to paralysis and even death. It is commonly found in soil and contaminated foods, particularly in improperly canned or preserved items. Early detection of Clostridium botulinum is crucial in preventing outbreaks of botulism in the food and agricultural sectors.

YouSeq's qPCR kit to detect Clostridium botulinum allows for rapid and accurate identification of the pathogen, enabling early intervention to prevent the spread of botulism. This can help reduce public health risks, ensure food safety, and prevent potential economic losses associated with product recalls and outbreaks.
