Growth and Laboratory Maintenance of <i>Campylobacter jejuni</i>

AbstractCampylobacter jejuni is a fastidious organism, growing in microaerophilic conditions with a temperature range between 37° and 42°C. Multiple types of media can be used to cultivate it; however, Mueller Hinton broth and agar support the best C. jejuni growth. Optimum atmosphere for C. jejuni is 85% N2, 10% CO2, and 5% O2. Curr.
