Blood-free selective medium for isolation of Campylobacter jejuni from feces.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A blood-free selective agar is described which contains charcoal, ferrous sulfate, sodium pyruvate, casein hydrolysates, cefazolin, and sodium deoxycholate (CCD agar). CCD agar was compared with Preston medium for isolation of Campylobacter jejuni from human feces, and isolation rates were similar on both media, but CCD agar was less selective. Temperature studies at 37 and 42 degrees C confirmed that incubation of direct plates at 42 degrees C for 48 h was necessary for maximum isolation of C. jejuni.

Semisolid blood-free selective-motility medium for the isolation of campylobacters from stool specimens.
Isolation of Campylobacter jejuni and C. coli from stool specimens is done by growing campylobacter colonies on solid selective media with or without blood. However, recognition of these colonies can be difficult. Therefore, we decided to evaluate an isolation procedure based on the swarming of campylobacters through a semisolid medium. We developed a semisolid blood-free selective motility (SS...

The aims of this study were to investigate the prevalence of campylobacteria including Campylobacter jejuni subsp. jejuni (C. jejuni) and Campylobacter coli in human clinical samples and in samples from healthy individuals and to reevaluate the efficacies of conventional selective methods for isolation of Campylobacter spp. Two charcoal-based selective media, modified charcoal cefoperazone deox...
متن کاملEnrichment medium for isolation of Campylobacter jejuni-Campylobacter coli.
A broth enrichment medium for the improvement of isolation of Campylobacter jejuni-Campylobacter coli from stool samples and other specimens is presented. Of 1,228 samples examined in parallel, positive results were obtained from 81 by direct inoculation of selective media and from 112 after enrichment. Thus, an increase of 27.7% in the isolation rate was obtained by using the enrichment medium...
متن کاملIsolation and identification of Campylobacter jejuni from poultry carcasses using conventional culture methods and multiplex PCR assay
Campylobacter jejuni is a major cause of food-borne diarrhea in many countries. Poultry and poultry products are known as important sources of human campylobacteriosis. In this study, conventional culture and multiplex PCR methods were compared for the detection of C. jejuni isolated from poultry carcasses. A total of 100 samples, representing 20 broiler flocks, were collected from poultry carc...
متن کاملEfficient isolation of Campylobacter upsaliensis from stools.
Byrne et al. (1) presented data on the superiority of cefoperazone amphotericin teicoplanin (CAT) selective medium over modified cefoperazone charcoal deoxycholate selective medium for the efficient isolation of Campylobacter upsaliensis from stools. There are alternatives to the use of selective media for the isolation of C. upsaliensis. Since 1977 we have routinely isolated campylobacters fro...
