INTENDED USE
- BacterTube™ Half-Fraiser Broth The Half Fraser broth is used for selective primary enrichment and detection of Listeria sp. in food and environmental samples.
PRINCIPLES
- BacterTube™ Half-Fraiser Broth is a recovery medium for Listeria monocytogenes, ensured by the difference in the concentrations of nalidixic acid and acriflavine between Half-Fraser and Fraser, as well as the two-step enrichment process for Listeria monocytogenes. Half Fraser serves as the primary enrichment step, while Fraser Broth is used as the secondary enrichment step.
- Polypeptone, yeast extract, and meat extract provide the essential nutrients for the growth of Listeria. The high concentration of sodium chloride increases the selectivity of the medium. Phosphates act as a buffer to maintain the pH of the medium. Esculin is hydrolyzed by Listeria into glucose and esculetin, and the latter forms a black complex with ferric ions from ferric citrate, which is added just before use to support the growth of Listeria. Lithium chloride inhibits the growth of most enterococci that hydrolyze esculin. Nalidixic acid prevents DNA replication in bacteria sensitive to this antimicrobial agent. Additionally, Gram-positive bacteria are inhibited by acriflavine.
- Prior to inoculation, allow medium to equilibrate to room temperature
- Use a sterile inoculation loop to transfer a sample from an isolated colony on the agar plate into the test tube containing the medium.
- Incubate the tube at 30 ± 1°C.
- Examine the tube after 24 – 26 hours of incubation.
- Observe and record the results
RESULTS
- After incubating for the required time, typically 24 – 26 hours, observe the colony growth within the medium.
- To identify the isolated bacteria, further appropriate tests must be performed
BacterLab ensures the quality of each product batch by testing with ATCC reference strains.
