HiMedia’s Hi-PCR® Vibrio cholerae Probe PCR Kit is designed to detect the outer membrane protein W (ompW) of V. cholerae in FAM channel with Internal Control in JOE channel in a single tube reaction. The kit allows sensitive and specific detection of V. cholerae in a single tube reaction.
Vibrio cholerae is a Gram-negative, non-spore forming, flagellated, facultative anaerobe. It dwells in brackish or saltwater as it is highly halophilic requiring salt-rich environment for thriving. This bacterium infects the intestine and increases mucous production causing diarrhea and vomiting which result in extreme dehydration. V. cholerae enters the human body through ingestion of contaminated food or water.HiMedia’s Hi-PCR® Vibrio cholerae Probe PCR Kit is designed to detect the outer membrane protein W (ompW) of V. cholerae in FAM channel with Internal Control in JOE channel in a single tube reaction.
