Campy Selective Agar Base (Powder) is highly nutritive medium for the selective isolation of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli. Many experts consider Campylobacter to be the leading cause of enteric illness in the US (1). Campylobacter spp. pathogens are highly infective and transmitted by contaminated food or water. Campy Selective Agar Base (Powder) is based on the formulation described by Bolton and Robertson (2). This formula was developed to isolate Campylobacter spp. from human, animal and environmental specimens. The Preston formulation demonstrated improved recovery and selectivity of Campylobacter spp. in comparative studies with other selective media (Skirrow, Butzler, Blaser and Campy-Blood Agar). Enzymatic Digest of Animal Tissue and Enzymatic Digest of Casein are the nitrogen and vitamin source in this medium. Sodium chloride provides the osmotic environment. Agar is the solidifying agent. Antimicrobics are added to suppress normal enteric flora, and enhance the growth of Campylobacter spp. The addition of 5% lysed horse blood provides essential growth factors. Quality Control Cultural Response: Medium was prepared according to label directions and inoculated with the organisms listed below. Campylobacter sp. test strains were incubated at 42
