The CamFet qPCR comprises a series of species-specific targeted reagents designed for Campylobacter fetus detection by using qPCR. Campylobacter fetus is a species of Gram-negative, motile bacteria with a characteristic “S-shaped” rod morphology. C. fetus causes abortion in cattle and sheep, in addition, is an opportunistic human pathogen and can cause bacteremia and thrombophlebitis. There exist two subspecies of C. fetus: one was Campylobacter fetus subsp. fetus and the other Campylobacter fetus subsp. venerealis. Both are responsible of abortions by using different mechanisms of transmission.
