LISTERIA ENRICHMENT BROTH (DOUBLE PACK)

Listeria Enrichment Broth was proposed by Feindt for the cultivation and isolation of Listeria species from clinical and non-clinical specimens. Obiger and Schonberg reported the superiority of this media to yield Listeria from mix-infected specimens. Listeria Enrichment Broth can be further improved by adding Colimycin alongwith Nalidixic acid. The mix infected specimen is added directly to Listeria Enrichment Broth. or subjected to cold enrichment and then cultured on Listeria Selective Agar. Haemolytic forms can be identified by inoculating Blood Agar.
