Isolation of Campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni from human fecal specimens by incubation at 35 and 42 degrees C

Abstract

Campylobacter strains were isolated from human stool specimens that were cultured on modified Skirrow agar and incubated at 35 and 42 degrees C. Incubation at 42 degrees C resulted in more isolates, increased colony numbers, and earlier isolation than was found at 35 degrees C.
