Salmonella Enteric Pathogens
Description
The Salmonella Enteric Pathogens dtec-qPCR-Panel-3 comprises a series of specific targeted reagents designed for Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium, serovar Enteritidis and serovar Infantis detection by using qPCR. Salmonella enterica is a rod-shaped, Gram-negative, non-spore-forming bacteria from the Enterobacteriaceae family. Found worldwide, Salmonella species infect both cold and warm-blooded animals. Transmission can occur via zoonosis, often from ingestion of contaminated food, water, or droplets. S. enterica has six subspecies with multiple serovars differing by antigenic specificity, defined by somatic (O) and flagellar (H) antigens. S. enterica subsp. enterica serovars Typhimurium and Enteritidis can colonize a broad range of animals with minimal clinical effects, but in humans, they often cause gastroenteritis or septicemia. S. enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium is linked to pork, beef and poultry, while S. enterica subsp. enterica serovar Enteritidis is associated mainly with eggs and poultry. S. enterica subsp. enterica serovar Infantis, an emerging pathogen resistant to multiple antibiotics, has seen increased infections in the U.S., Europe, and Latin America, mainly due to contaminated chicken and other foods.
