Chlamydia psittaci, as an important member of the Chlamydiaceae family, is a strictly intracellular, Gram-negative bacterium and one of the most common bacterial pathogens in birds. It can cause a wide range of manifestations, from subclinical infection to fatal disease. The infection has a worldwide distribution and can affect parrots, pigeons, poultry, and wild birds, resulting in presentations ranging from subclinical infection to acute septicemia. It is also an important zoonotic pathogen.

AmpliSun^TM Chlamydia psittaci (Psittacosis) Nucleic Acid Test Kit primarily uses real-time fluorescent PCR to detect C. psittaci in samples such as respiratory secretions and feces from birds, providing a reliable tool to support clinical disease diagnosis.

How  to use？

Open the PCR tube and pipette 20 μL of extracted nucleic acid from the sample well of the nucleic acid extraction kit into the PCR tube. Close the cap tightly.

Mix the added liquid thoroughly with the solid in the PCR tube (vortex mixer is recommended) until no solid is visible (approximately 10 s). Then, briefly centrifuge for 5 s using a mini centrifuge to ensure all liquid is at the bottom of the PCR tube and no bubbles remain. Finally, place the tube into the PCR instrument for detection.
