IDENTIFICATION NEW DIAGNOSTIC TEST-SYSTEM FOR CAMPILOBACTER
Objective. Development of the new test-system Campi-Bel-Strip for biochemical identification of the most important Campilobacter species. Material and methods. The Campilobacter test-strains C. lary, C. jejuni, C. coli as well as C. jejuni clinical isolates isolated from chicken feces were used for the test-system development. When performing biochemical reactions for Campilobacter identification the known methods and reagents were used. Results. A technology for obtaining a national biochemical test-system differentiating between the most important Campilobacter species was developed. Simplicity of its production, the minimal nutritional media composition and reduction of the study terms due to selecting of a most rational scheme for the culture identification by the biochemical signs are the main advantages as compared with the known test-systems.
