Selective diagnostic medium for pathogenic Listeria spp.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pathogenic Listeria serovars produced hemolysis on agars containing 5% rabbit erythrocytes and 10 micrograms of acriflavin, 40 micrograms of nalidixic acid, and 7.5 activity units of equi factor per ml. Apathogenic Listeria innocua was nonhemolytic on this medium.

A new selective medium for isolating Listeria spp. from heavily contaminated material.
Food-associated outbreaks of human listeriosis have emphasized the importance and necessity of screening food for the presence of Listeria isolates-selective agar medium combining acriflavine (10 mg/liter) with ceftazidime (50 mg/liter) was developed. A total of 1,099 cheese production specimens were cultured, from which 157 Listeria isolates. (14.3%) grew. When compared with modified McBride a...
متن کاملA method and medium for the electrical detection of Listeria spp. from food.
The development of a liquid medium for the detection of Listeria spp. by capacitance monitoring of food samples previously enriched in UVM 1 broth is described. Rapid growth of Listeria monocytogenes was shown to occur in liquid media with selectivity based on antibiotics found in Oxford agar. The final capacitance medium contained higher concentrations of the Oxford selective agents than Oxfor...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Droplet Digital Polymerase Chain Reaction for Rapid and Simultaneous Identification of Common Foodborne Pathogens in Soft Cheese
Dairy products can harbor various microorganisms (e.g., Campylobacter spp., Salmonella spp., Listeria monocytogenes, verocytotoxin-producing Escherichia coli) arising from animal reservoirs, and which can become important sources of foodborne illness. Therefore, early detection of food pathogens is crucial to prevent diseases. We wished to develop an accurate quantitative protocol based on a dr...
متن کاملEvaluation of enhanced haemolysis agar for detection of Listeria spp. and L. monocytogenes from production lines of fresh to cold-smoked fish.
Enhanced haemolysis agar (EHA) was compared to the two conventional Listeria isolation agars Oxford and PALCAM for its ability to detect Listeria spp. from production lines of fresh to cold-smoked fish. The ability of EHA for distinguishing L. monocytogenes colonies from other Listeria spp. was also evaluated.A total of 243 fish and environmental samples were analysed. Overall, 42 samples were ...
متن کاملFructose 1,6-Bisphosphate Aldolase, a Novel Immunogenic Surface Protein on Listeria Species
Listeria monocytogenes is a ubiquitous food-borne pathogen, and its presence in food or production facilities highlights the importance of surveillance. Increased understanding of the surface exposed antigens on Listeria would provide potential diagnostic and therapeutic targets. In the present work, using mass spectrometry and genetic cloning, we show that fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase (F...
