Oxoid™ Cefoperazone & Amphotericin Supplement (1 x 500ml) is a selective supplement formulated to enhance the isolation of Campylobacter species, particularly Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli, from food and environmental samples. When added to selective media such as modified charcoal cefoperazone deoxycholate agar (mCCDA), this supplement helps inhibit the growth of contaminating Gram-negative bacteria and fungi, allowing for clearer detection of Campylobacter colonies.

Key Features:

• Form: Liquid (500ml)
• Weight: 500ml per vial (pack size 10 vials)
• Application: Selective isolation of Campylobacter spp. from complex samples such as food and environmental sources
• Composition: Contains cefoperazone, a third-generation cephalosporin, to inhibit competing Gram-negative flora, and amphotericin B to suppress fungal growth
• Preparation: Add one 500ml vial to prepared base medium (e.g. mCCDA) as per the protocol, following sterile technique
• Storage: Store at 2–8°C, protect from light, and ensure vials remain tightly sealed
• Compliance: Suitable for use in standardised microbiological methods for the detection and enumeration of Campylobacter spp. in accordance with regulatory guidelines
