Evaluation of Agar Plates for Direct Enumeration of Campylobacter spp. from Poultry Carcass Rinses.

Campy-Cefex, a modification of Campy-Cefex, modified charcoal cefoperazone deoxycholate (mCCDA), Karmali, CAMPY, and Campy-Line agars were evaluated for their efficiency to isolate and enumerate Campylobacter spp. from poultry carcass rinses. Campy-Cefex and its modification produced the best results but were statistically similar to CAMPY, mCCDA, and Karmali. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
