Figure 2:

Cream colonies of Campylobacter spp. from a round shape with a shiny convex surface to the formation of a plaque on the surface of the medium with the effect of “swarming”. Campylobacter Agar, 24-hour cultivation.

Figure 3:

Greyish colonies of Campylobacter spp. on mCCD agar from rounded shape with metallic sheen to formation of plaque on the surface of the medium with a “swarming” effect, 24-hour cultivation.
