Abstract
Sir. — Cultural confirmation of venereal campylobacteriosis in cattle can only be achieved if samples arc cultured on the day of collection or a suitable transport medium is used. Clark et al.(3) have developed a selective enrichment medium for Campylobacter fetus venerealis which is also an effective transport medium (8). However, this transport medium is very cumbersome to prepare in that it requires a special gas mixture and large quantities of fresh bovine serum. This letter reports on the evaluation of Clark’s (8), cooked meat medium with antibiotics (CMMA), Weybridge (4), modified EMJH (5), Stuart’s (Oxford) and Cairy Blair (Oxoid) media, as transport media for C. fetus veneralis.
