Campylobacter spp. Monoclonal Antibody

Campylobacter is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria. Campylobacterspp. typically appear comma or s-shaped and motile. Most Campylobacter species can cause disease and can infect humans and other animals. The bacterium's main reservoir is poultry, however, humans can contract the disease from eating food contaminated with Campylobacter species. Another source of infection is contact with infected animals, which often carry Campylobacter asymptomatically. At least a dozen species of Campylobacter have been implicated in human disease, with C. jejuni and C. coli being the most common. C. jejuni is now recognised as one of the main causes of bacterial foodborne disease in many developed countries.
