One of several media formulations available for the selective isolation of Campylobacter spp., primarily C.jejuni and C.coli, which are the leading cause of enteric illness in the UK.

This medium was formulated to replace blood with a combination of charcoal, ferrous sulphate, and sodium pyruvate.

Also, in order to improve selectivity, Cefoperazone replaced the Cephazolin utilised in the original formulation.

Bolton recommended incubating inoculated plates at 37°C to improve isolation rates but incubation at 41.5°C is recommended for the isolation of the commonly encountered thermophilic species (C.jejuni & C.coli).
