Comparison of enrichment methods and atmosphere modification procedures for isolating Campylobacter jejuni from foods

A comparison was made of enrichment broths for recovery of Campylobacter jejuni from food by the methods of Doyle and Roman (Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 43:1343-1353) and of Park et al. (Can. J. Microbiol. 27:841-842). No significant differences were found between the results obtained with the two broths. Recovery was greater, however, with a constant gas flow into the broths than with an evacuation-replacement method.
