Detection kits for Staphylococcus aureus
Available in TaqMan format for analysis
Mastitis is the single most costly disease of dairy cattle resulting in the reduction of milk yield and quality. The inflammation of the udder is mainly caused by bacteria, and Staphylococcus aureus is often considered the most common cause of contagious mastitis in dairy herds. S. aureus infection is estimated to be present in up to 90% of dairy farms and is responsible for 35% of the economic loss in the dairy industry (Lee et al., 2005). S. aureus is a facultatively anaerobic, Gram-positive bacterium. The majority of S. aureus strains are catalase-positive and coagulase-positive, which forms the basis of traditional identification methodology.
