description <i>Campylobacter</i> is the main cause of bacterial foodborne disease and poultry meat is the principal source of human infections. Rapid methods for <i>Campylobacter</i> detection are urgently needed to decrease high bacterial prevalence in poultry products. In this study, we developed new primers, CampyPFw and CampyPRv, that target the 16S-23S rRNA genes of <i>Campylobacter jejuni</i>, <i>C. coli</i>, <i>C. lari</i> and <i>C. upsaliensis.</i> The primers were tested on positive and negative reference strains in pure cultures and in inoculated poultry meat samples before their application in real-time PCR (qPCR) protocol for analyzing chicken meat samples. In parallel, the samples were tested by using the ISO 10272-1:2006 method. The qPCR protocol based on CampyPFw and CampyPRv showed good sensitivity, with the limit of detection of 4.6 × 10<sup>2</sup> cells/mL in chicken samples without enrichment steps.
