and stored at 4°C for 2 h. Then the samples were 10-
fold serially diluted in 0.1% peptone water (PW), and
100 µL from each dilution was plated on Campy-Cefex
agar. The population of C. jejuni was determined after incubating at 42°C for 48 h under microaerophilic
conditions. LAE treatments resulting in nondetectable
Campylobacter survivors in broth were used for resuscitation experiment. For this, 1 mL of the solution from
the above mentioned treatments were added into 9 mL
of Bolton’s broth and incubated under microaerophilic
conditions at 42°C. After 24 h of enrichment, samples
were streaked onto Campy-Cefex agar plates and incubated for 48 h at 42°C under microaerophilic conditions
