Equine Klebsiella (EK) Nucleic Acid Test Kit (Lyophilized)

Clinical Applications

1. Accurate and Early Diagnosis: The EK nucleic acid detection reagent enables rapid and precise identification of the bacterium in horses showing respiratory symptoms. By detecting the unique nucleic acid sequences of EK, veterinarians can confirm the presence of the pathogen even when the symptoms are not fully developed or are similar to other respiratory infections. Early diagnosis is crucial as it allows for timely administration of appropriate antibiotics, which can significantly improve the prognosis of the infected horses.

2. Infection Control in Horse Herds: In horse farms and stables, regular screening using the EK nucleic acid detection reagent helps in identifying infected horses promptly. Isolating these positive cases can prevent the spread of EK within the herd. This is especially important in environments where horses are in close contact with each other. Additionally, proper disinfection and improved hygiene measures can be implemented based on the detection results to further control the spread of the bacterium.

3. Treatment Guidance: Once EK is detected using the nucleic acid detection reagent, veterinarians can select the most effective antibiotics based on the bacterium's susceptibility profile. This targeted treatment approach not only improves the treatment outcome but also helps to reduce the unnecessary use of broad - spectrum antibiotics, thus minimizing the risk of antibiotic resistance development.

4. Research on EK Pathogenesis: The detection reagent provides researchers with a reliable tool to study the pathogenesis of EK. By analyzing a large number of clinical samples from infected horses, they can gain a better understanding of how EK infects horses, the factors that contribute to its virulence, and its survival mechanisms in the host. This knowledge can then be used to develop more effective prevention and treatment strategies, such as the development of new vaccines or novel antibacterial agents.
