Vibrio cholerae is a comma-shaped, Gram-negative bacterium. It is the cause of cholera in humans, which affects the upper small intestine. Transmission of the disease is mainly through contaminated food or water. Human subjects affected by cholera exhibit severe watery diarrhea and vomiting, caused by the cholera toxin produced by the bacterium. Many cases of cholera are life-threatening, as diarrhea and associated vomiting can lead to rapid dehydration and electrolyte loss. Occasional outbrea

Sapovirus is a distinct genus within the family Caliciviridae; these viruses cause sporadic cases and outbreaks of gastroenteritis in humans worldwide. Sapovirus has a typical "Star of David" configuration by electron microscopic examination. The prototype sapovirus is the Sapporo virus (Hu/SaV/Sapporo virus/1977/JP). Sapovirus is divided into 5 genogroups, among which only genogroups I, II, IV, and V are known to infect humans. The BioPerfectus Sapovirus Real Time PCR Kit is an in vitro di

Astroviruses are a type of virus that causes diarrheal illness (gastroenteritis). Infants and young children are most likely to have diarrhea caused by astroviruses, but the infection also occurs in older people and those with a compromised immune system. While mild diarrhea is the main symptom astroviruses cause, a person who gets sick may also have other common symptoms of gastroenteritis, including: Nausea, Vomiting, Stomach ache, Loss of appetite, Body aches, Fever. The BioPerfectus As

Human adenoviruses (EAds) are classified into 47 serotypes and six subgenera (A-F) with different tropisms. In recent years adenovirus type 40 (Ad40) and 41 (Ad41) of subgenus F have been shown to be causative agents in enteric infections, which is second in importance only to rotaviruses as a cause of infantile gastroenteritis. Infection with EAds occurs worldwide and has been associated with 4-17% of cases of diarrhoea in children. Ad40 and Ad41 primarily affect young children less than 2 ye

Salmonella is a kind of Gram-negative intestinal bacteria which is widely distributed in nature and can cause disease to people and animals and has a great harm. The bacteria consists of 5 subgenera, serotypes are more complex, so far more than 2200 have been found, the common salmonella typhimurium, salmonella cholerae, salmonella enteritis, can cause human gastroenteritis, typhoid fever, sepsis and other symptoms. Shigella is a group of highly infectious Gram-negative intestinal pathogens, c

Typhoid fever and paratyphoid fever are bacterial infections caused by Salmonella Typhi, Salmonella Paratyphi A, B, and C, which are transmitted through the ingestion of tainted food and water. Worldwide an estimated 21 million cases and 222,000 associated deaths occur annually. The majority of infections are caused by Salmonella Typhi with infections by Salmonella Paratyphi A, B, and C being more rare. The BioPerfectus Salmonella Typhi/Salmonella Paratyphi Real Time PCR Kit is an in vitro

Shigella Dysenteriae bacteria cause an infection called shigellosis. Most people with Shigella Dysenteriae infection have diarrhea (sometimes bloody), fever, and stomach cramps. Symptoms usually begin 1-2 days after infection and last 7 days. The BioPerfectus Shigella Dysenteriae Real Time PCR Kit is an in vitro diagnostic test, based on real-time PCR technology, for the detection of DNA from the Shigella Dysenteriae. Specimens can be obtained from human stool. 96 tests in 62 minutes

Botulism is a life-threatening disease caused by the ingestion of a potent neurotoxin produced during the growth of the Clostridium botulinum bacteria. This neurotoxin is among the most toxic substances known; even microscopic amounts can cause illness or death. Symptoms of botulism usually appear within 12 to 36 hours after eating food containing the neurotoxin, although there have been documented cases that ranged from 4 hours to 8 days.
