A complete qPCR kit for the detection of Mycobacterium avium complex

Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) is a group of environmental mycobacteria that can cause chronic lung disease known as Mycobacterium avium complex lung disease (MAC-LD) in humans. MAC is also a common cause of disseminated infections in immunocompromised individuals. It is important to detect MAC early as it can be difficult to diagnose due to its nonspecific symptoms, which include fatigue, fever, weight loss, and respiratory symptoms. MAC can impact both the human and veterinary sectors, and timely detection is crucial for effective treatment and management of the disease.

YouSeq's qPCR kit to detect Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) allows for sensitive and specific detection of this pathogen in clinical samples. Early detection of MAC using YouSeq's qPCR kit can lead to prompt initiation of appropriate treatment, ultimately improving patient outcomes and reducing the spread of infection in healthcare settings. This can potentially reduce healthcare costs associated with managing MAC-LD and prevent the development of drug resistance.
