Product Summary and Explanation
Many experts consider Campylobacter to be the leading cause of enteric illness in the US. Campylobacter spp. can cause mild to severe diarrhea, with loose, watery stools often followed by bloody diarrhea. These pathogens are highly infective, and transmitted by contaminated food or water. Poultry is a primary reservoir of Campylobacter spp. and may cause contamination of more than 80% of chicken carcasses.
Campy Cefex Agar is described by Stern et al. This medium was formulated to provide selective isolation of cephalothin-resistant Campylobacter species such as C. jejuni and C. coli.
