Pseudomonas aeruginosa – Pathogen Detection (qPCR)

Description

Genomic identification of Pseudomonas aeruginosa using a qPCR-based assay.

P. aeruginosa is a rod-shaped (bacilli), gram-negative bacteria that is strictly aerobic (needs oxygen to survive). P. aeruginosa can cause disease in several plants and animals and is ubiquitous in nature (exists in many environments including soil, water, surfaces, artificial environments, etc.). In addition to illness, P. aeruginosa can contribute to biofilm formation resulting in water system plugging and equipment fouling.
