AccuPower® Campylobacter jejuni Real-Time PCR Kit

Overview

C. jejuni is a gram-negative bacterium that causes Campylobacteriosis. C. jejuni is known to cause acute gastroenteritis, as C. coli, another bacterium of the genus Campylobacter. It is most commonly infected by eating insufficiently cooked meat such as that of cattle, pig, or poultry and is accompanied by symptoms such as diarrhea, stomachache, and fever. In particular, Campylobacteriosis accounts for 5 to 14% of the causes of diarrhea worldwide. In most cases, recovery takes 2 to 5 days, but some patients with weakened immunity may become chronically ill.

Features and Benefits

• Convenience
  All necessary reactants for real-time PCR are included in a tube (i.e., Master Mix Type), allowing the users to perform reaction simply by adding template DNA, Oligo Mix, and DEPC-D.W.
  
  
• Sensitivity
  By using BIONEER’s HotStart Taq DNA Polymerase that minimizes non-specific reactions and maximizes reaction efficiency, only the target gene can be effectively amplified even with a trace amount of template DNA.
