Intended Use
CHROMagar™ Campylobacter is a selective chromogenic culture medium intended for use in the qualitative direct detection, differentiation and presumptive identification of thermotolerantCampylobacter. The test is performed with rectal swabs and stools, to aid in the diagnosis ofCampylobacterinfections. Results can be interpreted after 36-48 h of micro-aerophilic incubation at 42 °C.
Concomitant cultures are necessary to recover organisms for further microbiological testing or epidemiological typing.
A lack of growth or the absence of colonies on CHROMagar™ Campylobacter does not preclude the presence ofCampylobacter.
CHROMagar™ Campylobacter is not intended to diagnose infection nor to guide nor monitor treatment for infections.
CHROMagar™ Campylobacter can also be used in the detection ofCampylobacterin the analyses of food products for human consumption, animal feed and in environmental samples in accordance with the ISO 10272-1.
