Coxiella burnetii

Coxiella burnetii is an intracellular, Gram-negative bacterium that causes Q fever — a zoonotic infection transmitted primarily via inhalation of contaminated aerosols from infected animals. Acute cases can present with fever, pneumonia, or hepatitis, while chronic infections may lead to endocarditis. Accurate and rapid detection is essential for clinical diagnosis and epidemiological control.
Coxiella burnetii PCR kits based on real-time PCR technology provide a sensitive and specific method for detecting C. burnetii DNA in human samples. These molecular testing tools ensure accurate and reproducible results in routine and specialized laboratory workflows. Available in CE IVD-marked formats for diagnostic use and as research use only (RUO) versions, these PCR assays support a range of applications including Q fever diagnostics from clinical samples, outbreak investigation, and zoonotic disease surveillance.
