Rapid demonstration of Campylobacter in gastric biopsies using microwave irradiation.
With the aid of microwave irradiation, a modified method for rapid detection of Campylobacter has been devised. Compared with the conventional Warthin-Starry method, both staining period and concentration of the silver solution are considerably reduced but there is excellent staining and good tissue morphology.
