Bacillus Pertussis PCR Detection Kit-Bacteria & Other Pathogen

Pertussis or “whooping cough” caused by the gram-negative pleomorphic bacillus Bordetella pertussis, is a highly contagious, potentially life-threatening respiratory tract illness that has re-emerged worldwide as a cause of substantial morbidity and mortality in infants, children, and adolescents, despite high vaccination rates. The typical clinical symptom is a persistent paroxysmal spasmodic cough with an inspiratory coda and vomiting, usually lasting several weeks, and easily complicated by pneumonia and encephalopathy. The pathogenic bacteria are transmitted by droplets through the respiratory tract and are confined to the respiratory tract. Early diagnosis is crucial in the management of pertussis.
