According to the WHO, respiratory tract infections are one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality both in infancy and at older ages. About 70% of these infections affect the upper respiratory tract and middle ear.
Diagnosis and treatment of respiratory infections remain a primary focus for both therapists and pediatricians, since these infections account for over 90% of all outpatient visits, especially during the autumn and winter seasons.
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a natural inhabitant of the human upper respiratory tract. Streptococci are Gram-positive facultative anaerobic microorganisms.
Bacterial culture is recognized as the gold standard for detecting the microorganism. PCR is used to confirm the diagnosis and to detect the microorganism even during antibiotic therapy.
The Streptococcus pneumoniae REAL-TIME PCR Detection Kit is an in vitro Nucleic Acid Test (NAT) – pathogen-detection-based product.
The Streptococcus pneumoniae REAL-TIME PCR Detection Kit is designed to detect DNA of Streptococcus pneumoniae in human biological material by real-time PCR.
The Streptococcus pneumoniae REAL-TIME PCR Detection Kit can be used in research practice.
