Respiratory pathogens refer to various microorganisms capable of invading and colonizing the human respiratory system (including the upper and lower respiratory tracts), causing infectious diseases. They are typically transmitted through droplets, aerosols, or contact, leading to a range of clinical manifestations from mild throat discomfort to severe pneumonia. Viruses are the most common in community-acquired upper respiratory tract infections (such as the common cold and pharyngitis); bacteria (especially Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Mycoplasma) predominate in Community-Acquired Pneumonia (CAP); for immunocompromised individuals, infections by fungi (Pneumocystis jirovecii, Aspergillus) and drug-resistant Mycobacterium should also be closely monitored.
Leveraging its proprietary TargetSeq® liquid-phase probe hybridization capture technology and unique microbial probe design strategies, iGeneTech is dedicated to addressing critical issues such as viral variant monitoring, low-abundance viral sample detection, and host origin tracing. The company has currently launched multiple whole-genome detection kits for respiratory pathogens.
