INTENDED USE
- BacterBag™ Half Fraser Broth is used for the selective and differential enrichment (primary enrichment broth) of Listeria monocytogenes and Listeria spp. in food products, according to the NF EN ISO 11290-1 standard.
PRINCIPLES
- BacterBag™ Half Fraser Broth is used for the primary enrichment step.
- Enzymatic digest of animal tissues, enzymatic digest of casein, yeast extract, and meat extract provide essential nutrients for the growth of Listeria.
- The high sodium chloride content increases the selectivity of the medium.
- Phosphates act as buffers and maintain the medium’s pH.
- Esculin is hydrolyzed by Listeria into glucose and esculetin, the latter forming a black complex with iron ions provided by ferric ammonium citrate, which is added immediately before use. This also facilitates the growth of Listeria.
- Lithium chloride inhibits the growth of most intestinal cocci, which can also hydrolyze esculin.
- Nalidixic acid prevents the DNA replication of bacteria sensitive to this antimicrobial agent.
The growth of secondary gram-positive microorganisms is inhibited by acriflavine.
- Add 25g of the product to be analyzed into a bag containing BacterBag™ Half Fraser Broth.
- Mix thoroughly.
- Incubate for 18 – 24 hours at 35 – 37ºC.
- Note: BacterBag™ Half Fraser Broth can also be used as a diluent in the quantification of Listeria monocytogenes.
RESULTS
- This medium is used for the recovery and enrichment of bacteria present in the sample. Thus, secondary culturing in other selective media is necessary for bacterial identification.
BacterLab ensures the quality of each product batch by testing with ATCC reference strains.

| E. coli ATCC 35218 | 18 – 24 hours at 35 – 37°C | Inhibition, not growth |
| L. monocytogenes ATCC 13932 | Good growth |
