A recovery rate of 50 % is equivalent to a productivity value of 0.5.
The indicated colony counts result from the sum of a triple determination.

Application

ChromoCult® Listeria agar (base) is used for the isolation and differentiation of Listeria monocytogenes and other Listeria sp. from food and animal feed, environmental samples in the area of food production and food handling, and other materials.

General description

Listeria agar acc. OTTAVIANI and AGOSTI contains the chromogenic compound 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-β-D-glucopyranoside, which is a substrate for the detection of β-glucosidase. This enzyme is common in all Listeria that appears as blue-green colored colonies on the medium. Differentiation of Listeria monocytogenes from non-pathogenic Listeria sp. is achieved through the production of a phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC). Listeria monocytogenes hydrolyses the specific purified substrate added to the medium producing an opaque halo around the colonies. Most Listeria ivanovii also produce an opaque halo around the colonies after 48 h incubation. The inhibitors in the medium reduce the growth of the majority of concomitant gram-positive and gram-negative pathogens, as well as of yeasts and fungi. Agar is the solidifying agent, while lithium chloride, nalidixic acid, and cycloheximide provide selectivity.
Listeria Agar can be prepared by the addition of ChromoCult® Listeria Agar Selective-Supplement (1.00432) and ChromoCult® Listeria Agar Enrichment-Supplement (1.00439).

Questions

  1. I would like to know if the plates in question analyze total coliforms and Escherichia coli?

    1 answer
    1. This reference 100427 corresponds to dehydrated medium to be prepared and pour into plates (not ready-to-use plates).

      This medium is designed for the isolation and differentiation of Listeria monocytogenes and other Listeria spp. from food and animal feed, environmental samples in the area of food production and food handling and other materials.
      This culture medium complies with the specifications given by EN ISO 11290, FDA-BAM and APHA.

      The strains used in quality control are: Listeria monocytogenes (productivity - recovery should be >50% - blue/green colonies with halo), Listeria inocua and Escherichia coli (selectivity - you should have a total inhibition of the growth), Enterococcus faecalis (specificity - blue/green colonies without halo).
