Popis: Campylobacter jejuni is a major cause of bacterial diarrhea worldwide and associated with numerous sequela, including Guillain-Barré Syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, reactive arthritis, and irritable bowel syndrome. C. jejuni is unusual for an intestinal pathogen in its ability to coat its surface with a polysaccharide capsule (CPS). The genes responsible for the biosynthesis of the phase variable CPS is located in the hypervariable region of C. jejuni genome which has been used to develop multiplex PCR to classify CPS types based on the Penner serotypes. However, there still are non-typable CPS C. jejuni by the current multiplex PCR scheme. The application of the next generation sequencing and whole genome analysis software were used for the identification of novel capsule biosynthesis of C. jejuni isolates. Unique PCR primers were designed to identify these new capsule biosynthesis loci. The designed primers sets were combined in a new multiplex mix called epsilon. The unique sequences provide an additional information of the biosynthesis loci responsible for some of the common CPS sugars/residues such as heptose, deoxtyheptose and MeOPN among C. jejuni in this new group of CPS multiplex assay. This new primer complements the current C. jejuni multiplex capsule typing system and will help in identifying previously untypeable capsule locus of C. jejuni isolates.
