Norgen Streptococcus dysgalactiae TaqMan Probe/Primer and Control Set - 100 Reactions TM30710

Streptococcus dysgalactiae 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 infection of various bacteria. Streptococcus dysgalactiae, a Lancefield group C α-hemolytic gram-positive bacteria, is a common pathogen in subclinical and clinical mastitis causing substantial economic losses in dairy herds. Streptococcus dysgalactiae has been isolated from infected mammary glands and teat injuries and is transmitted primarily during milking. However, detection of S. dysgalactiae in other cow tissues such as tonsils, mouth and vagina, and occurrence of S. dysgalactiae mastitis during the non-lactating period in herds, suggests that the organism also behaves as an environmental pathogen. There are 2 kits available for the detection of Streptococcus dysgalactiae: • Specific Primer/Probe mix and Positive Control for the pathogen/virus/viroid of interest • Nuclease-free water • Can be used together with Norgen’s PCR/RT-PCR Master Mix (#28007/#28113)or customer supplied master mix
