Directions
Suspend 52 grams in 1000 ml distilled water. Heat if necessary to dissolve the medium completely. Dispense in tubes and sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes.
Principle and Interpretation
Listeria Enrichment HiVeg Broth, Modified is prepared by completely replacing animal based peptones with vegetable peptones which make the medium free of BSE/TSE risks. Listeria Enrichment HiVeg Broth, Modified is used for selective enrichment of Listeria species from milk, milk products and other foods.
This medium contains HiVeg hydrolysate No.1, yeast extract and HiVeg extract which provide essential nutrients like carbon and nitrogenous compounds including vitamins, amino acids and trace ingredients. Phosphates provide buffering action to the medium while sodium chloride maintains osmotic equilibrium. Nalidixic acid and Acriflavin inhibits the growth of gram-negative and gram-positive organisms respectively (1, 2, 3) except Listeria species. For the enrichment, 25 g or 25 ml sample is added to 225 ml medium in a stomacher bag. Homogenize the material if required. Incubation is carried out at 30°C for upto 7 days and the sample is subcultured on Listeria Selective HiVeg Agar (MV567) after 1, 2 and 7 days.
