Modified Charcoal Cefoperazone deoxycholate Agar Base (mCCD agar) 500G

Modified Charcoal Cefoperazone deoxycholate Agar Base (mCCD agar) is recommended for selective detection and enumeration of Campylobacter species from food chain as per the specifications laid down in ISO 10272-2:2017. Cephalothin in the original formulation was replaced by Cefoperazone as the selective agent since the latter gave better selectivity. Additional Amphotericin B suppresses the growth of yeast and mold contaminants. Colonies tend to swarm when initially isolated from clinical specimens.
