Comparative efficacy of seven selective media for isolating Campylobacter jejuni.
TL;DR: Diarrheal stools from 263 patients were inoculated on seven selective media and a similar number of Campylobacter jejuni strains were isolated from all the media studied; nevertheless, the presence of competing fecal flora made the detection of suspect colonies difficult.

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for diagnosis of brucellosis.
TL;DR: ELISA was the most sensitive test, showing greater specificity and good predictive positive and negative values (98 % and 94 % respecitvely) and was the only positive test in 6 % of patients in whom brucellosis had been confirmed by culture.

Evaluation of four enrichment media for isolation of Campylobacter jejuni.
TL;DR: Diarrheal stool specimens were inoculated into the following media: alkaline peptone water (APW), Bruce-Zochowsky medium (BZ), Campylobacter enrichment broth (CEB), Campy-thio broth (CT), and Skirrow blood-agar plate and no significant differences were found between the isolates obtained with and without enrichment procedures.

TL;DR: The storage of faeces at 4 °C for 24 h significantly reduces the number of campylobacter isolates, and when samples are not plated immediately, it is recommended inoculating a CT tube maintained at4 °C overnight as a holding medium.
Rapid automated method for screening of enteric pathogens from stool specimens.
TL;DR: The Entero Pathogen Screen card method is a fast, easy, and sensitive method for screening for Salmonella, Shigella, or Yersinia species and both true-positive and true-negative results were achieved considerably earlier than false results.
