Author(s): Arthur Hinton and Nelson A CoxArthur Hinton and Nelson A Cox
The objective of this study was to examine the efficacy of three antibiotic mixtures for use as supplements in a selective medium that could be used to isolate Campylobacter from mixed bacterial cultures during aerobic incubation. A non-selective, basal broth medium was prepared and supplemented with Bolton, Cefex, or Skirrow antibiotic mixtures. The ability of pure cultures of Campylobacter coli, Campylobacter fetus, Campylobacter jejuni, and Campylobacter lari to grow in basal broth and basal broth supplemented with each one of the antibiotic mixtures after aerobic incubation for 24 and 48 h at 37°C was determined. Also, the ability of pure cultures of Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, Listeria monocytogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella Kentucky.. View More»
