Thermo Scientific™ 24 Listeria Enrichment Broth (24 LEB) (Dehydrated)

Description

• Selectively enrich Listeria monocytogenes and other Listeria spp
• from food and environmental samples with Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ 24 Listeria Enrichment Broth (24 LEB) (Dehydrated)
• The medium provides optimal growing conditions for all Listeria species for PCR applications
• It is specifically designed for use with PCR systems, such as Thermo Scientific™ SureTect™ molecular assays for Listeria
• Listeria monocytogenes is the most common pathogenic Listeria spp
• and has been shown to be pathogenic to both humans and animals
• 24 Listeria Enrichment Broth (24 LEB) is designed to identify Listeria spp
• based on their utilization of a chomogenic substrate
• Easy-to-read: chromogenic and phospholipase enzyme reactions easily differentiate Listeria monocytogenes from other Listeria spp
• Adheres to ISO 11290-1:1997 standards
• Superior to PALCAM and Oxford medium for the isolation of Listeria monocytogenes 1
• The presence of the chromogenic substrate for the detection of  glucosidase (an enzyme common to all Listeria spp
• and to a few strains of Enterococci and Bacilli ) results in chromogenic activity
• Further differentiation of Listeria monocytogenes and other Listeria spp
• is facilitated by the addition of phosphatidylinositol or lethicin substrate for the detection of phospholipase enzyme
