Genotyping* (check our genomic database)

 

  • Haemophilus parasuis
  • Actinobacillus suis
  • Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae
  • Streptococcus suis
  • Escherichia coli
  • Salmonella sp.
  • This test can be adapted to type any bacterial species. Contact us with your request.

  

* Genotyping data is used for research purposes, and will be analyzed in conjunction to other isolates in the respective databases.
