Product Description:

Campylobacter Agar Base is a selective medium used for isolating *Campylobacter* species, such as *C. jejuni* and *C. coli*. These bacteria are major causes of human gastroenteritis and are often found in contaminated food, especially poultry. The agar is enriched with antimicrobial agents to inhibit the growth of competing microorganisms, allowing *Campylobacter* species to grow unimpeded. This medium is widely used in clinical diagnostics, food safety testing, and environmental monitoring to detect *Campylobacter* species.

Key Features:

– **Selective for Campylobacter Species:** Specifically designed for isolating *C. jejuni*, *C. coli*, and other *Campylobacter* species from clinical, food, and environmental samples.
– **Inhibition of Competing Organisms:** Proprietary inhibition chemistry ensures the selective growth of *Campylobacter*, while suppressing other bacteria.
– **Food Safety Testing:** Highly sensitive for detecting *Campylobacter* in food, particularly poultry, meat, and water.
– **500g Pack Size:** Ideal for medium to large laboratories with regular microbiological testing requirements.
– **Easy to Use and Consistent:** Designed for easy use, providing reliable and reproducible results.

Principle of Campylobacter Agar Base:

Campylobacter Agar Base is enriched with selective antimicrobial substances to suppress the growth of most other bacteria. This selective property allows *Campylobacter* species to grow unimpeded, facilitating their isolation from complex samples. It is commonly used in combination with Campylobacter Selective Supplement (e.g., vancomycin, polymyxin B, trimethoprim, and cycloheximide) to enhance its selectivity and improve isolation rates.

Applications of Campylobacter Agar Base:

Healthcare and Clinical Laboratories:
This medium is used to isolate *Campylobacter* species from clinical samples like stool, blood, and urine. It is particularly useful in diagnosing infections caused by *Campylobacter*, which is a common cause of gastroenteritis, leading to symptoms such as diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramping.

Food Safety Testing:
In food safety labs, Campylobacter Agar Base is used to test food products, especially poultry, meat, and water, for *Campylobacter* contamination. The bacteria are a significant cause of foodborne illnesses, often due to inadequate cooking of poultry and other food products.

Environmental Testing:
This medium is used in environmental testing to detect *Campylobacter* species in water samples and on surfaces in food processing environments. Monitoring for *Campylobacter* is crucial for public health and ensuring the safety of water used in food production.

Research and Academia:
Campylobacter Agar Base is utilized in research labs to study *Campylobacter* species, including their pathogenicity and antimicrobial resistance. It is also employed in environmental pathogen surveillance and the development of new detection techniques.
