Campylobacter foetus is a rod shaped, motile, Gram-negative bacteria with a characteristic
spiral curve morphology. Its genome has a circular DNA structure and codes for some
1820 genes. The bacterial pathogen is pathologically important in cattle and sheep where it
can cause abortion. There are two distinct subspecies of this bacterium that cause
infection by different means, the subspecies are Venerealis and Fetus.
Campylobacter venerialis is adapted specifically to the bovine genital tract where it is the
causative agent of bovine genital campylobacteriosis. This is a venereal disease that is
characterized by early embryonic death, infertility, an extended calving season and
abortion. The bacterium resides in the mucus layer of the male pupuce and is sexually
transmitted by natural mating or by artificial insemination.

The target sequences selected are based on the work of C, Abril et,al., 2007 and are
therefore highly specific. The primers have 100% homology with the three principal
reference sequences within the NCBI database (AM260752.1, AM286431.1,
AM286430.1).
The PCR Max qPCR Kit for C.fetus-venerialis (C.fetus-venerialis) genomes is designed for
the in vitro quantification of C.fetus-venerialis genomes. The kit is designed to have the
broadest detection profile possible whilst remaining specific to the C.fetus-venerialis
genome.
The primers and probe sequences in this kit have 100% homology with a broad range of
C.fetus-venerialis sequences based on a comprehensive bioinformatics analysis.
If you require further information, or have a specific question about the detection profile of
this kit then please send an e.mail to help@pcrmax.com and our bioinformatics team will
answer your question.
