Abstract

Campylobacter jejuni is a fastidious organism, growing in microaerophilic conditions with a temperature range between 37 degrees and 42 degrees 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.
