title: A field-suitable, semisolid aerobic enrichment medium for isolation of Campylobacter jejuni in small numbers.
abstract: The objective of this study was to produce an economical, easy to prepare, field-suitable enrichment medium for detection of Campylobacter jejuni in small numbers. A semisolid aerobic enrichment medium was developed. Rates of recovery from inoculated medium, sterile swabs, and mixed cultures of C. jejuni and coliform bacteria were tested.
