Additional information
Mikrogen recomLine Campylobacter tests are serological, qualitative in vitro tests for the
detection of IgG and IgA antibodies against immunodominant antigens of Campylobacter jejuni
and Campylobacter coli. After going through a Campylobacter infection or in case of a
persistent infection which is primarily detected through stool culture, our recomLine Campylobacter
tests with separately lined up recombinantly produced antigens allow the determination of specific
antibodies for the clarification of post-infectious complications (e.g., Campylobacter-induced arthritis).
Advantages
Separate detection of IgG and IgA antibodies.
Simple and clear interpretation due to easy-to-read banding.
Partial and full automation, software-based evaluation (recomScan), and integration with laboratory information system possible.
Highest sensitivity and specificity through use of recombinant, immunodominant antigens:

Campylobacter
Description Bacterial genus that causes campylobacteriosis and gastrointestinal infections
Structure Campylobacter is a genus of Gram-negative, microaerophilic, spiral-shaped or curved rod bacteria belonging to the family Campylobacteraceae. Members of the genus are highly motile due to the presence of polar flagella, which enable corkscrew-like movement through mucus and host tissues. The most clinically significant species are Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli, which are among the leading causes of bacterial gastroenteritis worldwide. Campylobacter species commonly colonize the intestinal tracts of poultry, cattle, and other animals and are transmitted to humans primarily through contaminated food, water, or direct animal contact. The bacteria possess numerous virulence factors that facilitate adherence to and invasion of intestinal epithelial cells, resulting in inflammation and tissue damage.
Diagnosis The diagnosis of Campylobacter infection is performed through microbiological, molecular, and antigen detection methods. Isolation of the organism from stool specimens using selective culture media under microaerophilic conditions remains a standard diagnostic approach. Molecular methods such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) provide rapid and highly sensitive detection of Campylobacter DNA and are increasingly incorporated into multiplex gastrointestinal pathogen panels. Antigen detection assays may also be used in some clinical laboratories. Laboratory confirmation is important because the symptoms of campylobacteriosis overlap with those caused by numerous other bacterial, viral, and parasitic enteric pathogens.
Symptoms Campylobacter infection, known as campylobacteriosis, typically develops following an incubation period of approximately two to five days after exposure. Common symptoms include diarrhea, which may be bloody, abdominal pain, fever, nausea, vomiting, headache, and malaise. The abdominal pain may be severe and can mimic acute appendicitis. Most infections are self-limiting and resolve within one week; however, severe disease may occur in young children, elderly individuals, and immunocompromised patients. Rare but important complications include bacteremia, reactive arthritis, irritable bowel syndrome, and Guillain-Barré syndrome, an autoimmune neurological disorder that can result in muscle weakness and paralysis.
