General description

EcoCult® Buffered Listeria enrichment broth (base) is a modification of the formulation of Tryptic Soy Broth with the addition of yeast extract and selective agents and by increasing its buffering capacity. It is suitable for the initial enrichment of Listeria spp. Glucose (dextrose) is the carbohydrate source. Sodium chloride maintains the osmotic balance of the medium. Phosphate acts as a buffer, while sodium pyruvate mediates the recovery of sub-lethally damaged Listeria spp. The addition of acriflavine, cycloheximide, and nalidixic acid inhibits the growth of the accompanying flora. Acriflavine, cycloheximide, and nalidixic acid are added after a 4 h pre-enrichment of the sample in BLEB broth base to promote the resuscitation and growth of injured Listeria spp.

Application

EcoCult® Buffered Listeria enrichment broth (base) is recommended for the primary selective enrichment of Listeria spp., including Listeria monocytogenes, from food and environmental samples.
