A complete qPCR kit for the detection of Streptococcus agalactiae (Group B)

Streptococcus agalactiae, also known as Group B Streptococcus, is a bacterial pathogen commonly found in the human genital tract. It is a significant cause of neonatal sepsis, pneumonia, and meningitis, leading to serious complications in newborns. Early detection of Streptococcus agalactiae during pregnancy is crucial to prevent vertical transmission to the baby, making it a critical target for maternal and neonatal health.

YouSeq's qPCR kit to detect Streptococcus agalactiae allows for rapid and accurate identification of the pathogen in clinical samples. Early detection of this bacterium in pregnant women can help prevent transmission to their babies, reducing the risk of neonatal infections and associated complications. This sensitive and specific detection method can lead to better outcomes for both mothers and newborns, highlighting the importance of timely diagnosis and treatment.
