Campygen bags

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United Kingdom

CampyGen bags are a type of laboratory equipment used to create a microaerophilic atmosphere, which is essential for the growth and cultivation of Campylobacter species. These bags provide a controlled environment with a specific gas composition, typically containing a mixture of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen, to support the growth of these fastidious microorganisms.

Selective Enrichment and Identification of Helicobacter

For selective pre-enrichment, 25 g of each sample (chicken meat, liver, or gizzard), were added to 225 mL of a Brucella broth supplemented with 5% sheep defibrinated blood, and DENT selective supplement (Oxoid, Hampshire, UK), and the mixture was homogenized in Stomacher® 400 (Seward, Worthing, UK). The mixture was then divided into two 250 mL flasks and incubated at 37 °C for 48 h under a microaerophilic condition using BBL GasPak™ jars (Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA), supplemented with CampyGen bags (Oxoid, Hampshire, UK). After incubation, 100 µL of the mixture were inoculated onto Columbia blood agar base (Oxoid, Hampshire, UK), supplemented with 5% sheep blood and DENT selective supplements. The plates were incubated for up to 7 days at 37 °C under a microaerophilic condition, as previously described. Suspected colonies were further identified using Gram’s staining (Gram-negative for Helicobacter spp.), oxidase (positive for Helicobacter spp.), urease (positive for H. pylori), and nitrate reduction (positive for H. pullorum) tests.

Isolation and Identification of H. pylori

For the isolation of H. pylori, 25 g of each sample was suspended in 225 mL of Brucella broth supplemented with 5% sheep defibrinated blood and DENT selective supplement (Oxoid, Hampshire, UK). After incubation at 37 °C for 48 h under a microaerophilic condition using BBL GasPak™ jars (Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA), supplemented with CampyGen bags (Oxoid, Hampshire, UK) 100 µL of the mixture was inoculated onto Columbia blood agar base (Oxoid, Hampshire, UK), supplemented with 5% sheep blood and DENT selective supplements, and then incubated for 5–7 days under a microaerophilic condition. Suspected colonies were further identified using Gram staining (Gram-negative for Helicobacter spp.), oxidase (positive for Helicobacter spp.), urease (positive for H. pylori), and nitrate reduction (positive for H. pullorum) tests.

Multidrug-resistant bacteria co-culture

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
P. aeruginosa ATCC 12453 and E. coli ATCC 25922 were used to co-culture with C. jejuni ATCC 33560. C.jejuni was cultured on Melluler-Hinton agar (Oxoid, Thermo Fisher, Hampshire, UK) under microaerophilic conditions (5% N2, 10% CO2, and 85% O2) using CampyGen bags (Oxoid, Hampshire, UK) at 42 °C for 48 h. E.coli and P. aeruginosa were also cultured on the same medium under aerobic conditions and incubated at 37 °C for 24 h (Karruli et al., 2023 (link), Suwono et al., 2021 (link)). A single colony from each bacterial culture was sub-cultured in Melluler-Hinton broth (Oxoid, Thermo Fisher, Hampshire, UK) and kept under the desired conditions for growth, then an equal volume was extracted from each broth to attain an absorbance of 0.063 at 600 nm, which was then used for co-culture purposes.

Isolation of Campylobacter from Milk

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
One hundred unpasteurized milk samples were collected: 50 samples from goats, and 50 samples from cows. Sample processing started with adjusting the pH of milk to 7.6, followed by centrifugation at 12,000× g for 4 min. The supernatant was discarded, and the pellet was suspended in 1 mL pre-enriched Bolton broth, then the volume was completed to 10 mL by Bolton broth. Each sample was subjected to pre-enrichment and enrichment steps under microaerobic conditions (5% N2, 10% CO2, and 85% O2) using CampyGen bags (Oxoid, Hampshire, UK). A loopful of the mixture was streaked on modified charcoal cefoperazone deoxycholate agar (mCCDA) plates (Oxoid, Hampshire, UK) and incubated under microaerobic conditions at 42 °C for 48 h.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
