AccuPower® Haemophilus parainfluenzae Real-Time PCR Kit

Overview

H. parainfluenzae is a gram-negative bacterium commonly found in the mouth and pharynx. And it is one of the HACEK organisms that causes endocarditis. Infectious endocarditis may be accompanied by embolism, which may affect the patient's prognosis. H. parainfluenzae has a lipid-oligosaccharide component with modified surface residues, so it is easy to attach to and colonize tissues. These characteristics allow long-term survival in the host's mucosal cells to sustain infection. For the treatment of H. parainfluenzae infection, administering of β-lactam antibiotics is usually common.

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.
