Yersinia pestis

Yersinia pestis is a highly virulent, Gram-negative bacterium responsible for plague, a zoonotic disease with pneumonic, bubonic, and septicemic (septicemia also known as blood poisoning) forms. Due to its rapid progression and potential use as a biothreat agent, early and accurate detection is critical for clinical treatment, outbreak control, and public health preparedness.
Yersinia pestis PCR kits based on real-time PCR technology provide a sensitive and specific method for detecting Y. pestis DNA in human samples. These molecular testing tools ensure accurate and reproducible results in routine and specialized laboratory workflows. Available in research use only (RUO) format, this PCR assay supports applications such as high-risk infection diagnostics, biosafety monitoring, and biodefense readiness from clinical samples.
