title: Effect of ferrous sulfate, sodium metabisulfite, and sodium pyruvate on survival of Campylobacter jejuni.
abstract: A combination of ferrous sulfate, sodium metabisulfite and sodium pyruvate, incorporated in solid medium, maintained the characteristic morphology, motility, and viability of six isolates of Campylobacter jejuni stored at room temperature and 4 degrees C for up to 20 and 30 days, respectively, under normal atmospheric conditions.
