Project description:This project presents LC-MS/MS-based proteomic datasets obtained from bacterial colonies isolated from retail chicken meat samples, as part of a study focused on the detection of Campylobacter jejuni. The isolates were initially screened using a novel chromogenic enzymatic assay targeting hippuricase activity, which is specific for C. jejuni. Selected samples, including both enzymatically positive and negative results, were subjected to in-gel digestion followed by high-resolution LC-MS/MS analysis on an Orbitrap Exploris 240 instrument.
