Salmonella Test (PCR)

The Salmonella test for dogs and cats employs Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technology to detect the presence of Salmonella bacteria in samples from these pets. Salmonella, a genus of rod-shaped, gram-negative bacteria, can infect a broad spectrum of animals, including household pets like dogs and cats. This infection can vary in severity, from asymptomatic cases where the animal shows no outward signs of illness despite carrying the bacteria, to severe cases marked by significant symptoms. These symptoms can include diarrhoea, vomiting, fever, lethargy, and loss of appetite.
