Identify more Campy

I met Peter unexpectedly when I was going to get autoclaved stuff this afternoon. I told him that the Campy's results are quite disappointing - most of the Campy samples are NOT exactly Campys. Take those unsurviving Campys into account, my samples have reduced from more than 100 (149, I think) to merely 36! The species variety is also limited - most of them are Campylobacter jejuni (more than 2/3) and followed by C. coli. No C. fetus or other species are detected. Peter advised me that I may do PCR with Sarah's (a student before) Campy samples and see what species they exactly are. ...Hence I'll have to do some more Campy samples in the following weeks...I hope I may finish Campys THIS MONTH~~~~!!
