Description

TMAO HiVeg™ Medium (Trimethylamine-N-Oxide HiVeg™ Medium) is recommended for cultivation and differentiation of Campylobacter species from food, except Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli in accordance with APHA. C. jejuni and C. coli are sensitive to Trimethylamine-N-Oxide and hence do not grow in this medium while growth of C. lari remains unaffected as it is not sensitive to TMAO. Therefore anaerobic growth in 1% TMAO is used to differentiate this strain from C. jejuni and C. coli. This medium is prepared by replacing animal peptones with vegetable defined peptones to avoid BSE/TSE/GMO risk.
