Background:  Brachyspira hyodysenteriae (previously called Serpulina hyodysenteriae or Treponema hyodysenteriae) is an anaerobic intestinal spirochaete and the causative agent of swine dysentery. Swine dysentery is a disease characterized by mucohaemorrhagic diarrhoea with lesions confined to the large intestine of pigs. Its incubation time is 10-14 days. The faecal excretion of B. hyodysenteriae starts 2 days after infection. Brachyspira hyodysenteriae is an anaerobic bacterium but is aerotolerant due, at least in part, to high NADH oxidase activity.

Description:  BactoReal® Kit Brachyspira hyodysenteriae uses real-time PCR for the detection of the NADH oxidase (nox) gene of B. hyodysenteriae. Our carefully designed primers and probe ensure highest sensitivity and specificity. The kit consists of an assay mix for the detection of the pathogen as well as a positive control and an internal positive control (IPC). To minimize PCR cross-contamination,the reaction mix included contains dUTP and uracil-N glycosylase (UNG).
