Abstract
Purified and isolated nucleic acid molecules are provided which encode a basal body rod protein of a strain of Campylobacter, particularly C. jejuni, or a fragment or an analog of the basal body rod protein. The nucleic acid molecules may be used to produce proteins free of contaminants derived from bacteria normally containing the FlgF or FlgG proteins for purposes of diagnostics and medical treatment. Furthermore, the nucleic acid molecules, proteins encoded thereby and antibodies raised against the proteins, may be used in the diagnosis of infection.
