AccuPower® Streptococcus mitis Real-time PCR Kit

Overview

S. mitis is a gram-positive bacterium known to cause mainly infective endocarditis and, rarely, meningitis or sepsis. S. mitis is a normal flora commonly found in the upper respiratory tract and oral cavity, and occasionally in the gastrointestinal and female reproductive tract. Infection is rarely found in healthy adults, but it is known to cause endocarditis and shock in patients with tumors, organ transplantation, immunodeficiency or neutropenia.

Features and Benefits

• Convenience
  All necessary reactants for real-time PCR are included in a tube (i.e., Master Mix Type), allowing the users to perform reaction simply by adding template DNA, Oligo Mix, and DEPC-D.W.
  
  
• Sensitivity
  By using BIONEER’s HotStart Taq DNA Polymerase that minimizes non-specific reactions and maximizes reaction efficiency, only the target gene can be effectively amplified even with a trace amount of template DNA.
