The last Campy swabs (I hope)

As I haven't got any response from Christchurch, I asked Medlab if they could collect some Campy swabs for me. This week I get 7 isolates. At the same time, I also want to try the efficiency of MicroAeroPak from MGC company. So I streaked the swabs on plates and also soaked in 10 ml BHIYE broths (with 0.025% FBP supplement) and incubate them in polycarbonate jar with 2 sachets of MicroAeroPak in it. The humudity in the jar is also tried to be maintained by way of placing 2 glass dishes of water with cottons soaked in them. These are what I can do to optimize the growth condition of Campy by far. Hope the result won't make me too disappointed.
