Campylobacter jejuni PCR Detection Kit

The Campylobacter jejuni PCR Detection Kit provides a PCR master mix which contains reagents and enzymes for PCR amplification and a primer mix which are specific to the C. jejuni genome. In addition, the kit provides an internal control to identify possible PCR inhibition or sample preparation failure.

Campylobacter jejuni is a slender, spiral-shaped bacterium and one of the leading causes of bacterial gastroenteritis worldwide. This bacterium is notorious for its ability to colonize the human intestines, often triggering symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever.

C. jejuni is a foodborne pathogen that can be contracted by consuming undercooked poultry or contaminated water. C. jejuni's virulence lies in its capacity to penetrate and disrupt the intestinal lining, leading to inflammation and gastrointestinal distress.

While most infections are self-limiting, severe cases can occur, particularly in immunocompromised individuals, potentially leading to complications such as Guillain-Barré syndrome.
