    An egg-based medium significantly improves Campylobacter jejuni preservation compared to other methods. This novel medium ensures bacterial viability for over three months at 4°C, offering superior laboratory storage solutions.

    Area of Science:

    • Microbiology
    • Bacteriology

    Background:

    • Campylobacter jejuni is a leading cause of bacterial gastroenteritis worldwide.
    • Effective laboratory preservation of C. jejuni is crucial for research and diagnostics.
    • Current transport media may limit long-term bacterial viability.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of an egg-based medium for C. jejuni preservation.
    • To compare the egg-based medium with Wang transport medium and a biphasic medium.
    • To determine optimal storage conditions for maintaining C. jejuni viability.

    Main Methods:

    • Bacterial strains of C. jejuni were preserved using three different media: egg-based, Wang transport, and biphasic.
    • Viability of C. jejuni was assessed after storage at 4°C and room temperature (27 ± 2°C).

  • Comparative analysis of survival rates across different media and temperatures was performed.

    • Main Results:

    • The egg-based medium demonstrated superior preservation capabilities for C. jejuni compared to both Wang and biphasic media.
    • C. jejuni strains stored in the egg-based medium at 4°C remained viable for over three months.
    • Extended survival of C. jejuni was also observed in the egg-based medium at room temperature.

    Conclusions:

    • Egg-based medium is a highly effective and superior choice for laboratory preservation of Campylobacter jejuni.
    • This medium offers enhanced viability for C. jejuni, outperforming conventional and biphasic methods.
    • The findings support the use of egg-based medium for long-term storage and transport of C. jejuni in laboratory settings.
