ABSTRACT:
The invention is a selective growth medium for investigating, isolating, counting and directly identifying pathogenic bacteria of the genusListeria.The medium promotes theListeriaspp. while simultaneously inhibiting the growth of non-Listeriaorganisms. The medium does not produce a bacterial biomass contaminated with interfering fluorophores. The medium contains nitrofurantoin, esculin and lithium chloride and lacks acriflavin.
