Effect of the composition of the nutrient media and culture conditions on the growth of strains of Campylobacter jejuni and C. coli

: The influence of the composition of culture media and cultivation conditions on the growth of Campylobacter strains has been studied. Blood-containing media have been found to ensure the most favorable growth conditions. No differences between the use of RCT supplement (rifampicin, cephalothin and trimethoprim in amounts of 10, 15 and 5 mg/l respectively) and DC supplement (0.1% of sodium deoxycholate and 15 mg/l of cephalothin), as well as between different methods used for the creation of microaerophilic conditions, have been established.
