Campylobacter – Culture

faeces, swab with medium (intestine, cloaca)

bacterial cultural, MALDI-TOF

2 working days or 4 working days with antibiogram

• Please send in a faecal sample with a diameter of at least the size of a cherry, otherwise use swab with medium.
• A combined cultural detection of campylobacter and yersinia is also available.
• Resistances are common; treatment should therefore only be carried out after an antibiogram has been performed. Preparation of an antibiogram is only possible after performing a culture test.
• Feeding a raw meat diet is a source of infection for C. jejuni.
• It is a notifiable disease in some countries.
