Shigеlla species

Shigella species (Shigella spp.) are Gram-negative bacteria that cause shigellosis, an acute intestinal infection characterized by diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps. It spreads easily through contaminated food, water, and person-to-person contact, making rapid detection essential for infection control, especially in outbreak settings.
Shigella PCR kits based on real-time PCR technology provide a sensitive and specific method for detecting Shigella DNA in human samples. These molecular diagnostics tools deliver 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 multiplex kits support a wide range of applications including gastrointestinal infection diagnostics, public health surveillance, and foodborne pathogen monitoring from clinical samples.
