It is a question of:
- medium (high quality blood agar)
- humidity and temperature (normally 37 øC)
- gas mixture (we prefer hydrogen, not nitrogen)
- patience
Helicobacter bizzozeronii appears the most difficult species to
handle. The group in Finland should know best ?
(Campylobacter jejuni is quite easy to handle)
