The Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Modified Preston Campylobacter Selective Supplement (SR0204E) is a freeze-dried selective additive designed for the isolation of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli from human, animal, avian, and environmental samples. When added to Campylobacter Agar Base (CM0689B) or Nutrient Broth No. 2 (CM0067B), the supplement enhances selectivity, promoting the growth of Campylobacter species while suppressing competing flora.
Key Features
- Selective for Campylobacter spp.:
- Promotes the recovery of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli by inhibiting non-target organisms.
- Amphotericin B-Based:
- Contains amphotericin B as a replacement for cycloheximide, reducing toxicity while maintaining selectivity.
- Versatile Medium Compatibility:
- Can be used with Campylobacter Agar Base (CM0689B) or Nutrient Broth No. 2 (CM0067B) for diverse testing requirements.
- Wide Application:
- Suitable for testing faecal, veterinary, and environmental samples, including samples from avian and animal sources.
- Convenient Preparation:
- Each vial supplements 500mL of medium, ensuring consistent and reproducible results.
Applications
1. Clinical Microbiology
- Isolation and identification of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli from faecal samples for diagnosing gastrointestinal infections.
2. Veterinary Microbiology
- Detection of Campylobacter spp. in samples from animals, including poultry and livestock, for veterinary diagnostics.
3. Environmental Monitoring
- Monitoring and detecting Campylobacter contamination in water, soil, and environmental samples.
4. Research Microbiology
- Studies on the ecology, pathogenesis, and antimicrobial resistance of Campylobacter species.
