Application of the Fortner principle to isolation of Campylobacter from stools

J Clin Microbiol. 1979 Aug;10(2):245-7. doi: 10.1128/jcm.10.2.245-247.1979.

Abstract

A simple biological technique for reducing oxygen tension which does not necessitate the use of conventional anaerobic equipment is described. We successfully applied this method to the isolation of campylobacters from stools.
