Abstract

Abstract A method and medium have been developed for the isolation of L. monocytogenes from mixed cultures as it commonly occurs in biologic materials. This consists of an enrichment broth in which the organisms are incubated for 18 hours, then streaked on a solid selective medium. L. monocytogenes produces gray colonies in 24 hours. Other organisms present could be easily differentiated by their appearance.
