Product Description:
Campylobacter Blood Free Selective Agar Base is a selective medium designed for isolating *Campylobacter* species, particularly *C. jejuni* and *C. coli*. This medium is formulated without blood to avoid potential interference from blood components while still supporting the optimal growth of *Campylobacter* species. The selective nature of this medium is enhanced by the inclusion of specific antimicrobial agents that inhibit competing microorganisms, allowing *Campylobacter* species to grow unimpeded. It is widely used in clinical diagnostics, food safety testing, and environmental monitoring.
Key Features:
– **Selective for Campylobacter Species:** Specifically designed for isolating *C. jejuni*, *C. coli*, and other *Campylobacter* species from clinical, food, and environmental samples.
– **Blood-Free Formulation:** Eliminates interference from blood components, providing optimal conditions for the growth of *Campylobacter* species.
– **Inhibition of Competing Microorganisms:** The medium contains selective agents that suppress the growth of non-*Campylobacter* bacteria, ensuring the exclusive growth of *Campylobacter* species.
– **Ideal for Food Safety Testing:** Used to detect *Campylobacter* in food products such as poultry, meat, and water.
– **500g Pack Size:** Suitable for medium to large laboratories that perform routine microbiological testing.
– **Reliable and Consistent:** Engineered to provide consistent, reproducible results every time.
Principle of Campylobacter Blood Free Selective Agar Base:
Campylobacter Blood Free Selective Agar Base contains antimicrobial agents that prevent the growth of most other bacteria, enabling *Campylobacter* species to grow without competition. Unlike other Campylobacter media that contain blood, this formulation is blood-free to avoid potential interference. The nutrient-rich environment of the medium facilitates the growth of *Campylobacter*, aiding in its isolation and identification. This agar is most commonly used in conjunction with Campylobacter Selective Supplement to enhance its selectivity for *Campylobacter* species.
Applications of Campylobacter Blood Free Selective Agar Base:
Healthcare and Clinical Laboratories:
This medium is used for isolating *Campylobacter* species from clinical specimens such as stool, blood, and urine. It is particularly useful for diagnosing infections caused by *Campylobacter*, which is a common cause of gastroenteritis, leading to symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, and fever.
Food Safety Testing:
Campylobacter Blood Free Selective Agar Base is used in food safety laboratories to detect *Campylobacter* contamination in food products, particularly poultry, meat, and water. *Campylobacter* is a leading cause of foodborne illnesses, and this medium plays a crucial role in preventing outbreaks.
Environmental Testing:
This medium is used in environmental testing to detect *Campylobacter* species in water sources and food processing environments. The presence of *Campylobacter* in these environments is an indicator of fecal contamination and health risks.
Research and Academia:
Campylobacter Blood Free Selective Agar Base is employed in research labs to study *Campylobacter* species, including their pathogenicity, antimicrobial resistance, and environmental behavior. It is also used in the development of new detection methods and environmental surveillance studies.
