Bordetella avium Probe-based qPCR Kit

Bordetella avium is a gram-negative, nonfermentative, strictly aerobic, motile bacterium belonging to the genus Bordetella. It has been isolated from patients with respiratory diseases, such as cystic fibrosis. B. avium is distributed globally and primarily affects young domesticated turkeys. Its pathogenesis involves fimbrial attachment to the respiratory epithelium and the release of various virulence factors, resulting in respiratory symptoms such as sneezing, ocular and nasal discharge, and inflammation.
