AccuPower® Clostridium sordellii Real-Time PCR Kit

Overview

C. sordellii is an anaerobic bacterium with spores that causes pneumonia, endocarditis, arthritis, peritonitis, etc. It is frequently found in the soil and intestines of animals, and can usually also be found in the vagina of healthy women. If it enters the uterus through gynecological procedures or childbirth, it can cause C. sordellii toxic shock syndrome (CSTS). The incidence of CSTS is not known, but if it does develop, can lead to death. Symptoms of CSTS include an increase in white blood cell count, low blood pressure, and tachycardia.

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.
