<prompt> A 35 year old patient complains of abdominal cramps along with profuse diarrhea. The treating physician wants to process the stool specimen for isolation of Campylobacter jejuni. Which of the following is the method of choice for the culture of stool ?Culture on TCBS medium incubated at 37degC under aerobic conditionsCulture on Skirrows medium incubated at 42degC under micro-aerophilic conditions.Culture on MacConkeys medium incubated at 42degC under anaerobic contionsCulture on Wilson and Blairs medium incubated at 37deg under microaerophilic conditions  <response>: Ans. is b i.e., Culture on skirrows medium incubated at 42degC under micro-aerophilic conditions . Compylobacter jejuni is thermophilic, growing well at 42degC. Inoculated plates are incubated under microaerophilic conditions with an atmosphere of 5 02, 10 CO2 and 85 N2 at 42degC. . Plating media commonly used are 1 Skirrows medium 2 Butzlers medium 3 Campy BAP medium . Transpo medium - Cary-Blair medium . The jejunum and the ileum are the primary sites of colonization. . C. jejuni is invasive pathogen, may involve mesentric lymph node and cause bacteremia. Treatment . Most cases resolve without antimicrobial therapy with fluid and electrolyte replacement. . When needed, erythromycin is the drug of choice.
