ALOA LISTERIA AGAR BASE (L.MONO DIFFERENTIAL AGAR BASE)

Listeria monocytogenes is a gram-positive foodborne human pathogen responsible for serious infections in pregnant women that may ultimately result in abortion, stillbirth, birth of a child with neonatal listeriosis and meningitis or primary bacteremia in adults and juveniles. The pathogenicity of Listeria ivanovii for humans is uncertain. Since L. monocytogenes and L. innocua have similar biochemical properties, they cannot be differentiated on traditional media. L. mono Differential Agar Base is based on the formulation of Ottoviani and Agosti for the selective and differential isolation of Listeria monocytogenes from food and animal feeds which is adopted by ISO Committee.
