Campylobacter Food Testing Solutions

Campylobacter testing solutions

The detection of Campylobacter in foods before they are consumed is vital for safeguarding public health, and essential for preserving the financial health and reputation of food businesses. We offer a wide range of products and solutions for the detection and enumeration of Campylobacter in foods and associated sample types.

Reference methods

ISO 10272-1:2017 standard method

A horizontal method for the detection (Part 1) and enumeration (Part 2) of Campylobacter spp. cited in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2073/2005 and other national regulations and guidelines. 

USDA FSIS MLG 41: Isolation and identification of Campylobacter jejuni/coli/lari

A culture-media based standard reference method for the isolation and identification of Campylobacter species from poultry rinse and sponge samples. Cited in the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) Microbiology Laboratory Guidebook (MLG) Method Number 41. 

PCR-based rapid method

Thermo Scientific SureTect Campylobacter jejuni, C. coli and C. lari PCR Assay

A rapid real-time PCR method for the detection of Campylobacter jejuni, C. coli and C. lari in poultry matrices and relevant environmental samples in as little as 24 hours. The enrichment step requires no gas injection (microaerophilic conditions), whilst the assay allows for the identification and differentiation of all three species in a single reaction. The assay is AOAC Performance Tested Methods (SM) certified.

Chromogenic culture media-based method

Thermo Scientific Brilliance CampyCount Agar

A streamlined, rapid, culture-based method to identify and enumerate Campylobacter jejuni, C. coli and C. lari from poultry and related samples. Brilliance CampyCount Agar has been validated and approved by MicroVal (according to EN ISO 16140-2:2016 standard) against the reference method EN ISO/TS 10272-2:2017 for the selective enumeration of thermotolerant Campylobacter species, in particular C. jejuni and C. coli, in poultry products.
