Mycoplasma Pneumoniae is the pathogen of Pneumonia. The onset of Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia is slow, with the symptoms of anorexia, nausea, vomiting, sore throat, headache, fever, muscle soreness, etc. Mycoplasma Pneumoniae is mainly transmitted by droplets with an incubation period of 2-3 weeks. Adolescents are a high-risk population, and cases of infection occur throughout the year, but most of them occur in autumn and winter. At present, laboratory diagnostic methods mainly include iso

Anaplasma phagocytophilum is an obligate gram-negative, intracellular bacterium that causes an acute febrile illness known as anaplasmosis or human granulocytic anaplasmosis (HGA). The organism is genetically related to rickettsia and is transmitted by Ixodes scapularis in the northeast United States and by Ixodes pacificus in California. The vector also transmits other organisms responsible for diseases such as Lyme, babesiosis, ehrlichioses and Powassan encephalitis. Anaplasmosis was formerl

Measles Virus is a single negative-strand RNA virus and belongs to a member of Paramyxoviridae. Measles is caused by the measles virus, which is one of the most infectious diseases in human. Clinical measles infection can cause fever, rash and cough. It mainly affects children and young people. Measles can also cause lifelong disability, including brain damage in blindness and deafness. Rubella virus is a single positive strand RNA, which is the only member of the Rubella virus genus. Rubella

Streptococcus pneumoniae (SP) is a lancet-shaped, gram-positive bacterium. It is an opportunistic pathogen typically colonizing the nasopharynx and mouth of healthy people. Children, elderly people, and people with weakened immune systems are high-risk groups. SP has nearly 100 serotypes, including more than 30 pathogenic serotypes. It is the leading cause of diseases and deaths in children in China and even across the world. SP chiefly causes pneumonia, suppurative meningitis, sepsis, sinusit

Legionella pneumophila is an important pathogen that causes Legionnaires' disease. Legionella was discovered after a pneumonia outbreak in 1976 among people who went to a Philadelphia veteran's convention. Existing studies showed that it has at least 50 species and 70 serogroups. About 90% of Legionnaires' disease is caused by Legionella pneumophila (LP) that has 15 serogroups. The serogroup 1 causes 84% of Legionnaires' disease worldwide. The disease is an acute bacterial infectious disease a

Legionellae are aerobic gram-negative bacteria associated with respiratory infections. Legionellae are ubiquitous in environmental water sources and may cause sporadic as well as epidemic cases. Aerosol-generating systems such as faucets, showerheads, whirlpools, cooling towers, and nebulizers aid in the transmission of Legionella from water to air. Legionellosis classically presents as two distinct clinical entities, Legionnaires disease (LD), pneumonia with severe multisystem disease, and Po

Respiratory syncytial virus is the pathogen of Pneumonia. According to its adhesive protein G antigenicity, it is divided into type A and type B. The clinical symptoms caused by its type A and type B are more similar. RSV is the most important pathogen of lower respiratory tract infection in infants and children, with the highest incidence at 2-6 months of age, an incubation period of 3-7 days, and heavy symptoms, which may include high fever, rhinitis, pharyngitis and laryngitis, followed by

Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) is an illness caused by a virus (more specifically, a coronavirus) called the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV). Most MERS patients developed severe respiratory disease with symptoms of fever, cough and shortness of breath. About 3 or 4 out of every 10 patients reported with MERS have died. The BioPerfectus MERS-CoV Real Time PCR Kit is an in vitro diagnostic test, based on real-time PCR technology, for the detection of RNA from

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. The BioPerfectus Clostridium botulinum Real Time PC

Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is a viral respiratory illness caused by a coronavirus, called SARS-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV). SARS was first reported in Asia in February 2003. The disease spread to more than two dozen countries in North America, South America, Europe, and Asia before the SARS global outbreak of 2003 was contained. The BioPerfectus SARS-CoV Real Time PCR Kit is an in vitro diagnostic test, based on real-time PCR technology, for the detection of RNA from th
