Buffered listeria enrichment broth

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in Germany

Buffered-Listeria-Enrichment-Broth (BLEB) is a microbiological culture medium designed for the enrichment and selective growth of Listeria monocytogenes. It is intended for use in the detection and isolation of Listeria species from food, environmental, and clinical samples.

For the selective enrichment of Listeria spp. 1 ml of cell suspension was added to 9 ml Buffered-Listeria-Enrichment-Broth (BLEB) (Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany). After 2 h of preincubation at 30°C Listeria-Selective-Enrichment supplement (Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany) was added and the culture was further incubated at 30°C. After 24 h, 48 h, and 7 days 0.1 ml of the enrichment culture were transferred to 10 ml Half-Fraser-Bouillon (Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany) and incubated aerobically at 37°C. Enrichment culture dependent detection of Listeria spp. was conducted after 24 and 48 h using Oxford-Agarplates (Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany) and Palcam-Agarplates (Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany) inoculated with the second enrichment culture. In case of a detection of Listeria spp. Rapid‘L.mono medium (Bio-Rad Laboratories GmbH, Munich, Germany) plates were used to identify L. monocytogenes. After inoculation, the identification plates were incubated at 37°C for 48 h.
In order to enrich S. enterica cells, 1 ml of cell suspension was added to 9 ml of BPW and incubated aerobically 37°C for 24 h. Afterwards cultures were streaked out on Xylose-Lysine-Deoxycholat (XLD) agar plates (Fluka, Buchs, Switzerland) and incubated at 37°C for 24 h in order to identify Salmonella spp.

Listeria Isolation and Identification Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Initially, the specimens were inoculated in Buffered Listeria Enrichment Broth (BLEB, Merck, Germany) and were incubated at 4°C for 2 weeks to 1 month. The inoculum was then plated on PALCAM agar (Merck, Germany), Oxford agar (Difco, USA) and CHROM agar Listeria (Paris, France) plates. After 48 h of incubation at 37°C, colonies morphologically resembling Listeria were submitted for confirmatory examinations using Gram staining, catalase and oxidase tests, motility and sugar fermentation tests (xylose, rhamnose, mannitol, α-methyl D-mannopyranoside), hemolysis on 5% sheep blood agar and CAMP test (8 (link), 9 (link)). In CAMP test, the L. monocytogenes isolates were streaked perpendicular to Staphylococcus aureus on 5% sheep blood agar plates and zones of hemolysis were investigated, after 24–48 h of incubation at 35°C (10 (link)).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
