Abstract
⺠We compare membrane filtration of enriched water and fecal samples to streak plating. ⺠Similar isolation rates were observed with filtration/streak plating of enrichment broth. ⺠Similar Campylobacter diversity was observed between the different methods. ⺠Filtration of enriched samples yielded ~ 20 à fewer false-positives than streaking. ⺠We report efficient membrane isolation of C. jejuni/coli from water and fecal samples.
