Corynebacterium diphtheriae

Corynebacterium diphtheriae is the bacterial pathogen responsible for diphtheria, a potentially life-threatening infection affecting the upper respiratory tract and, in severe cases, the heart and nervous system. Early identification is critical for timely treatment, infection control, and public health response.
Corynebacterium diphtheriae PCR kits based on real-time PCR technology provide a sensitive and specific method for detecting C. diphteriae DNA in human samples. These molecular diagnostics tools deliver accurate and reproducible results in routine and specialized laboratory workflows. Available in CE IVD-marked format for diagnostic use and as research use only (RUO) kit, these PCR assays support pathogen surveillance from clinical samples, outbreak investigations, and vaccine impact studies.
