Reconstitution

Quantity on preparation (500g): 45.5 g/l

pH (25°C): 7.4 ± 0.2

Supplement: Campylobacter Supplement V (FD067) / CAT Selective Supplement (FD145)

Sterilization

121°C / 15 minutes.

Storage

Dry Medium - Below 30°C, Prepared Medium 2 - 8°C.

Directions

Suspend 22.75 grams in 500 ml distilled water. Heat to boiling to dissolve the medium completely. Sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes. Cool to 50°C and aseptically add rehydrated contents of one vial of Campylobacter Supplement V (FD067). Alternatively to increase the selectivity of the medium, rehydrated contents of one vial of CAT Selective Supplement (FD145) may be added to 500 ml sterile molten base. Mix well and pour into sterile petri plates.

Principle and Interpretation

This medium is prepared by completely replacing animal based peptones by vegetables peptones. The performance of this medium is equivalent to conventional CCDA-Preston Blood Free Medium cited in APHA (1) for selective isolation of Campylobacter jejuni, Campylobacter coli, Nalidixic acid resistant, thermophilic Campylobacter species and Campylobacter laridis from clinical specimens. Blood is replaced by charcoal. Ferrous sulphate and sodium pyruvate enhance aerotolerance of Campylobacter species. Campylobacter isolation depends on the antimicrobial agents in the medium, a microaerophilic environment and the incubation temperature. Incubation at 42°C under microaerobic conditions yields maximum growth of Campylobacter. Colonies tend to swarm when initially isolated from clinical specimens.

Gelling

Firm, comparable with 1.2% Agar gel.

Colour and Clarity

Black coloured, opaque gel forms in petri plates.

Reaction

Reaction of 4.55% w/v aqueous solution is pH 7.4 ± 0.2 at 25°C.

Cultural Response

Cultural characteristics observed after an incubation at 42°C for 24 - 48 hours on addition of Campylobacter Supplement V (FD067).

Organisms (ATCC) Growth Colour of colony
Campylobacter coli (33559) good - luxuriant Creamy grey
Campylobacter jejuni (29428) good - luxuriant Grey
Campylobacter laridis good - luxuriant Varying type
Escherichia coli (25922) inhibited -

Quality Control

Appearance of powder

Grey coloured, homogeneous, free flowing powder.
