EXOone Salmonella pullorum

Description

Salmonella enterica serovar Pullorum is a Gram-negative bacterium adapted to poultry, belonging to the family Enterobacteriaceae.
It is the causative agent of pullorum disease, a systemic infection mainly affecting young birds, characterized by high mortality, weakness, diarrhea and poor growth. Adult birds may remain asymptomatic carriers, facilitating transmission within flocks and causing significant economic losses.
Conventional detection methods based on culture are time-consuming and require confirmatory testing. Real-time PCR enables rapid, sensitive and specific detection of S. Pullorum DNA directly from clinical samples, supporting analytical detection and surveillance.
