Rhamnose Broth is recommended for demonstration of rhamnose fermentation (Listeria monocytogenes).
Composition**
| Ingredients | Gms / Litre |
|---|---|
| Meat extract | 1.000 |
| Meat peptone | 10.000 |
| Sodium chloride | 5.000 |
| Bromo cresol purple | 0.020 |
Final pH (at 25°C): 6.8±0.2
**Formula adjusted, standardized to suit performance parameters
Directions
Suspend 16.02 grams in 1000 ml distilled water. Heat if necessary to dissolve the medium completely. Dispense in tubes containing inverted Durham's tubes and sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes. Aseptically add filter sterilized rhamnose solution (final concentration of 1%) to sterile media.
Principle And Interpretation
Only Listeria monocytogenes among the Listeria species is reported to cause infection in humans. In human adults, L. monocytogenes primarily causes meningitis, encephalitis or septicemia. The tropism of L. monocytogenes for the central nervous system leads to severe disease, often with high mortality or with neurologic disorders among survivors (1).
Rhamnose Broth Base is formulated for demonstration of rhamnose fermentation. Meat extract and Meat Peptone provides essential growth nutrients for bacterial metabolism. Bromocresol purple acts as pH indicator which turns yellow under acidic condition. Sodium chloride maintains osmotic equilibrium. Gas formation is seen in Durham's tubes.
