Abstract: | A blood-free medium for the recovery of thermophilic
Campylobacter
was compared with Butzler Medium Virion during a one-year study using 2,893 human feces samples. Ninety
Campylobacter
strains (3.1 %) were isolated after incubation for 48 h at 42 C in a candle jar atmosphere. Three strains of
Campylobacter jejuni
were isolated on the blood-free medium only and one on Butzler Medium Virion only. Fecal flora was equally well inhibited on both media except for gram-positive organisms, which were completely inhibited only on the blood-free medium. |
