Modified Brucella Agar Base is used for the selective isolation and cultivation of thermotolerant Campylobacter species. This medium is formulated as per APHA. It is used as a basal medium for preparation of Campylobacter BAP Medium or Blasers Agar or Butzlers Campylobacter Medium.Tryptone, peptone provide essential growth nutrients as nitrogenous compounds, sulphur, carbon and trace elements. Glucose is the energy source. Sodium chloride maintains the osmotic equilibrium. The different antibiotics make the medium selective.
