PATHOGENIC RHODOCOCCUS EQUI

A complete qPCR kit for the detection of Pathogenic Rhodococcus equi

Pathogenic Rhodococcus equi is a bacterial pathogen that causes severe pneumonia in foals, particularly in the veterinary sector. Early detection of this pathogen is crucial as it can lead to high mortality rates if left untreated. Rhodococcus equi infection can also occur in immunocompromised humans, causing similar symptoms and posing a threat to human health.

YouSeq's qPCR kit to detect Pathogenic Rhodococcus equi allows for rapid and specific identification of the pathogen, enabling early intervention and treatment in both foals and humans. By detecting this target quickly, the impact on mortality rates and overall health outcomes can be significantly improved, highlighting the importance of accurate detection methods in the veterinary and human healthcare sectors.
