Rapidly differentiate Campylobacter, Helicobacter and Acrobacter species from other Gram-negative organisms with Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Biochemical Identification System (O.B.I.S.) campy. This rapid colorimetric test delivers simple and rapid results for the detection of L-alanyl aminopeptidase in Gram-negative organisms. It has been designed for the differentiation of Campylobacter, Helicobacter, and Arcobacter species from other Gram-negative organisms and incorporates a Gram-lysis test which will demonstrate Gram status.
Use O.B.I.S. campy for rapid differentiation of species of Campylobacter, Helicobacter, and Arcobacter from all other Gram-negative organisms.
- Simple—easy to implement
- Rapid—results in 6 minutes of testing suspect colonies
The O.B.I.S. campy test differentiates species of Campylobacter, Helicobacter, and Arcobacter from all other Gram-negative organisms. Unlike other Gram-negative organisms, Campylobacteraceae do not possess the enzyme L-alanyl aminopeptidase (L-ALA). The O.B.I.S. campy test incorporates a rapid test to detect this enzyme and a Gram-lysis reagent to rapidly determine the Gram status. First, the Gram-lysis test (or a Gram stain) must be carried out. This test differentiates between Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
