Isolation of Campylobacter from human stool samples

Field Evaluation of a Transport Medium and Enrichment Broth for Isolation of Campylobacter Species from Human Diarrheal Stool Samples

Campylobacter continues to be a major cause of bacteria-mediated diarrheal diseases, both for Thai citizens and travelers to Thailand. For field epidemiological studies, appropriate methods for storage, intra-laboratory transport of patients specimens and use of enrichment culture to isolate this organism is critical. Study A, represents patient stool specimens collected in Bangkok and processe...

Isolation, Identification and Characterization of Salmonella Serovars from Diarrhoeic Stool Samples of Human

The present study aimed at isolation and identification of Salmonella serovars from human stool and characterization of the isolated serovars using biochemical, serological, molecular and antimicrobial sensitivity techniques. A total of 25 samples were collected of which 16% were positive to Salmonella serovars. All the culturally positive isolates fermented dextrose, maltose and mannitol with ...

Campylobacter hyointestinalis Isolated From a Human Stool Specimen

Dear Editor Campylobacter are curved, gram-negative, non-spore-forming rods that usually grow in a microaerophilic environment. To date, 22 species have been assigned to Campylobacter. Although most Campylobacter species are zoonotic, C. jejuni, C. coli, and C. fetus are well-known human pathogens; C. upsaliensis and C. lari are also considered enteropathogenic bacteria [1]. C. hyointestinalis ...

Comparison of CHROMagar Salmonella medium and hektoen enteric agar for isolation of salmonellae from stool samples.

CHROMagar Salmonella (CAS), a new chromogenic medium, was retrospectively compared to Hektoen enteric agar (HEA) with 501 Salmonella stock isolates and was then prospectively compared to HEA for the detection and presumptive identification of Salmonella spp. with 508 stool samples before and after enrichment. All stock cultures (100%), including cultures of H2S-negative isolates, yielded typica...
