Comparison of enrichment broths for isolation of Campylobacter jejuni. 1985

J Heisick

Growth of Campylobacter jejuni was compared in enrichment broths of Doyle and Roman (Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 43:1343-1353, 1982) and Park et al. (C. E. Park, Z. K. Stankiewicz, J. Lovett, and J. Hunt, Can. J. Microbiol. 27:841-842, 1981), as modified by Lovett et al. (J. Lovett, D. W. Francis, and J. M. Hunt, Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 46:459-462, 1983). Inoculated foods used were cream-pudding types, which may be cross-contaminated by improper handling, improper storage of meats prepared simultaneously, or the use of raw milk as an ingredient. Both broths adequately supported growth.

D002167	Campylobacter	A genus of bacteria found in the reproductive organs, intestinal tract, and oral cavity of animals and man. Some species are pathogenic.
D003470	Culture Media	Any liquid or solid preparation made specifically for the growth, storage, or transport of microorganisms or other types of cells. The variety of media that exist allow for the culturing of specific microorganisms and cell types, such as differential media, selective media, test media, and defined media. Solid media consist of liquid media that have been solidified with an agent such as AGAR or GELATIN.	Media, Culture
