Rickettsia conorii

Rickettsia conorii is a tick-borne, intracellular bacterium and the causative agent of Mediterranean spotted fever (MSF). The disease typically presents with fever, rash, and an eschar at the tick bite site, but complications can occur if left untreated. Rapid and accurate detection is essential for early diagnosis and appropriate antibiotic therapy.
Rickettsia conorii PCR kits based on real-time PCR technology provide a sensitive and specific method for detecting R. conorii DNA in human samples. These molecular testing tools deliver accurate and reproducible results in routine and specialized laboratory workflows. Available in research use only (RUO) format, this PCR assay supports applications such as tick-borne disease diagnostics, differential diagnosis of febrile illnesses, and regional pathogen surveillance from clinical samples.
