Norgen Staphyloccocus aureus End-Point PCR Kit - 24 Reactions EP29300

Staphylococcus aureus Detection Kits Mastitis is the single most costly disease of dairy cattle resulting in the reduction of milk yield and quality. The inflammation of the utter is mainly caused by bacteria, and Staphylococcus aureus is often considered the most common cause of contagious mastitis in dairy herds. S. aureus infection is estimated to be present in up to 90% of dairy farms and is responsible for 35% of the economic loss in the dairy industry (Lee et al., 2005). S. aureus is a facultatively anaerobic, Gram positive bacterium. The majority of S. aureus strains are catalase-positive and coagulasepositive, which forms the basis of traditional identification methodology. There are 3 kits available for the detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis: ＊Ready to use format, including Master Mix for the target and PCR control to monitor for PCR inhibition and validate the quality ＊Specific Primer mix for the pathogen/virus/viroid of interest ＊Positive control and a negative control to confirm the integrity of the kit reagents ＊Loading dye and a DNA ladder to facilitate qualitative analysis of the results on an agarose gel
