title: Comparative efficacy of liquid enrichment medium for isolation of Campylobacter jejuni.
abstract: Isolation of Campylobacter jejuni from 1,249 human fecal specimens by direct inoculation on selective Columbia agar and liquid enrichment medium was compared. The use of liquid enrichment medium provided a 30% higher isolation rate of C. jejuni. The overall isolation rate achieved by using direct plating and enrichment together was 8.2%.
