[0002] After camel milk is converted from a semi-wild state to centralized breeding, the incidence of camel mastitis has increased explosively, and the infection rate of mastitis in some camel breeding farms has exceeded 30.00%. Camel mastitis is a disease caused by camel mammary gland tissue due to pathogenic microorganisms, physical and chemical factors, etc., and pathogenic microorganism infection is the most important inducement.

[0003] Clinical mastitis can be diagnosed by typical clinical symptoms, and subclinical mastitis needs to be diagnosed by laboratory detection methods, including somatic cell counting, microbial culture and isolation identification, PCR, and gene sequencing technology, etc. However, traditional detection technologies represented by somatic cell counting and microbial culture and isolation identification often have limitations such as insufficient sensitivity, limited specificity, long time consumption, and narrow range of pathogenic bacteria species that can be simultaneously detected. The existing gene detection methods for camel mastitis pathogens have problems such as low sensitivity, poor specificity, incomplete target coverage, long process time, and low detection efficiency. In order to overcome these challenges, it is urgent to develop high-throughput, high-sensitivity targeted detection primers, kits and matching detection systems for multiple important pathogens and drug resistance genes of camel mastitis.
