Respiratory infections

Respiratory infections are among the most prevalent causes of illness worldwide, caused by a wide range of viral and bacterial pathogens. These infections range from mild upper respiratory tract symptoms to severe pneumonia and life-threatening complications, particularly in vulnerable populations. Rapid and accurate detection is crucial for clinical management, infection control, and outbreak response.
Respiratory infection PCR kits based on real-time PCR technology offer sensitive and specific detection of major respiratory pathogens in human samples in routine and specialized laboratory workflows. Targets may include Bordetella pertussis/parapertussis/bronchiseptica, Legionella pneumophila, Mycoplasma pneumoniae / Chlamydophila pneumoniae, Corynebacterium diphtheriae, Influenza viruses, Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTB/MTC), SARS-CoV-2 (Novel coronavirus), OC43, 229E, NL63, and HKU1 human Coronavirus (hCov), Human Respiratory Syncytial virus (hRSV), Human Bocavirus (hBov), Human Metapneumovirus (hMpv), Human Parainfluenza virus-1-4 (hPiv), Respiratory human adenovirus (hAdv), and Human Rhinovirus (hRv). Available in CE IVD-marked formats for diagnostic use and research use only (RUO) versions, these PCR assays support a broad range of applications including routine respiratory screening, syndromic testing, hospital outbreak monitoring, and seasonal surveillance.
