Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Real-Time PCR Kit

Introduction

Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the causative pathogen of tuberculosis (TB). Tuberculosis is an infectious disease that can affect all tissues and organs of the body, though pulmonary infection is the most common. This occurs because there is no normal flora in the alveoli, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis can be inhaled through respiratory micro-droplets or dust particles containing the bacteria.

Tuberculosis is generally transmitted by inhaling bacteria from contact with an infected patient. The main modes of transmission include respiratory, gastrointestinal, cutaneous, and uterine routes, with the respiratory route being predominant.

Clinical symptoms are characterized by local respiratory manifestations, primarily cough, expectoration, chest pain, and, in some cases, hemoptysis.

The BioPerfectus Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Real-Time PCR Kit is intended for the in vitro qualitative detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) in human sputum samples.
