title: Comparison of two media for the isolation of thermophilic Campylobacters from waste waters of different quality.
abstract: Counts of thermophilic campylobacters from 31 different waste water samples were parallel estimated with two different cultivation media. The resulting increased isolation sale obtained with an modified Charcoal-Cefoperazone-Deoxycholat-Medium (MCCD-Medium), was statistically significant. An 15.8 fold increased isolation rate, compared with the standard medium, could be estimated with the help of the geometric mean.
