title: Chemically defined media for auxotyping of Campylobacter jejuni.
abstract: A set of chemically defined media has been developed for the cultivation of Campylobacter jejuni strains of human origin. A minimal medium, a complete medium and 5 different nutrient-deficient media (NDM1-NDM5) are described. Some of the strains investigated required L-methionine(lacking in NDM1), L-cystine and L-cysteine (NDM2), K2HPO4 (NDM 3), KH2PO4 (NDM4) and NAD, thiamine and calcium pantothenate (NDM5). 57.7% of the strains investigated required L-methionine. The strains grew at pH 6.6-7.7. The media described are not suitable for C. intestinalis.
