Bordetella pertussis/parapertussis/bronchiseptica

Bordetella pertussis, Bordetella parapertussis, and Bordetella bronchiseptica are respiratory pathogens known to cause pertussis-like illness in humans. Bordetella pertussis is the primary agent of whooping cough, a highly contagious disease with serious outcomes in infants and vulnerable populations. Early and accurate detection is essential for outbreak control and clinical management.
Bordetella PCR kits based on real-time PCR technology provide a sensitive and specific method for detecting B. pertussis, B. parapertussis,and B. bronchiseptica DNA in human samples. These molecular diagnostics tools offer accurate and reproducible results in routine and specialized laboratory workflows. Available formats include a CE IVD-marked kit for clinical use and a research use only (RUO) version for non-clinical applications such as epidemiological studies, respiratory pathogen surveillance, and microbiological research from clinical samples.
