Objective:To produce a technique for the growth ofCampylobacter jejuni in aerobic condition Methods:Different combinations of reducing agents were tested in brucella broth and the growth turbidity was compared with tubes containing normal broth only. Microaerophilic environment was also provided in a petri plate seeded withCampylobacter culture by pouring 3 different concentrations (10%, 5% and 2.5%) of five reducing agents along with bacto-agar in the lid which was used to cover and seal the culture plate. Six reducing agents were also added in broth in concentration of 0.25 mg/mL of each with different combinations.Results: In lid agar technique,Campylobacter jejunigrowth appeared in all three concentrations of reducing agents, that is 10%, 5% and 2.5% after 24 hours of incubation but the best results were observed in 10% concentration. The colonial and morphological characters were not affected when the organisms were grown by this technique.Conclusions: It was found that reducing agents enhance the growth ofC. jejuni/coli. In combination of FeSO4, Na2CO3 with H3BO3 worked as ideal mixture for the aerobic growth ofCampylobacter. This technique is more economical as compared to commercially available media in the market and can be used for the oral facultative and microaerophilic bacterial growth in laboratory.
