Brief description Campylobacter jejuni is the leading cause of foodborne illness within Australia. To improve food safety there is a critical need for new therapeutics and diagnostics that target this agent. Within nature bacterial viruses possess proteins that can perform such a task. By using mass spectrometric analysis we aim to exploit billions of years of co-evolution to identify bacterial viral proteins that bind C. jejuni to identify novel means to limit and lower C. jejuni numbers in food sources.
