Beskrivning
Pertussis, also known as whooping cough, is a highly contagious respiratory infection caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis. Pertussis spreads easily from person to person mainly through droplets produced by coughing or sneezing. The disease is most dangerous in infants, and is a significant cause of disease and death in this age group.
Sansure kit is used to detect Bordetella pertussis DNA present in the nasopharyngeal swab specimens by applying PCR fluorescence probing technique. The detection result can be used as an aid in the diagnosis of bordetella pertussis.
