[Experience in isolating Campylobacter jejuni from patients with acute intestinal diseases].
Erythrite agar, a commercial culture medium produced by the Research Institute for Culture Media (Makhachkala, USSR), is suitable for the cultivation of C. jejuni after the addition of hemolized sheep blood. The addition of antibiotics to the medium permits its use for the isolation of C. jejuni from feces. By means of this medium C. jejuni has been isolated from the feces of 10% of patients hospitalized on account of acute infectious intestinal diseases.
