Background:  Streptococcus uberis is a Grampositive bacterium known worldwide as an environmental pathogen responsible for a high proportion of cases of clinically acute as well as subclinical bovine mastitis.

Description:  BactoReal® Kit Streptococcus uberis uses real-time PCR for the detection of ITS region of S. uberis. Our carefully designed primers and probe ensure highest sensitivity and specificity. The kit consists of an assay mix for the detection of the pathogen as well as a positive control and an internal positive control (IPC). To minimize PCR cross-contamination,the reaction mix included contains dUTP and uracil-N glycosylase (UNG).
