A complete kit for the detection of Shigella SPP
SHIGELLA SPP: Shigella species are enteric pathogens that cause symptoms such as severe diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps in humans, particularly in developing countries with poor sanitation. This bacterium is important to detect in clinical, food, and water sectors to prevent outbreaks of potentially fatal gastrointestinal infections.
YouSeq's qPCR kit to detect Shigella spp allows for rapid and accurate identification of this pathogen, enabling early intervention and prevention of widespread illness. Early detection can lead to decreased morbidity and mortality rates, as well as reduce the economic burden associated with treating and controlling Shigella infections.
