Descripción

General description

GranuCult^® Oxford Agar (Base) formulation is based on Columbia Agar with the addition of lithium chloride, acriflavin, colistin sulfate, cefotetan, cycloheximide, and fosfomycin. These ingredients suppress the growth of the common bacteria (e.g., Gram-negative bacteria and a greater part of Gram-positive bacteria). Lithium chloride is one of the ingredients of Oxford Agar base, while the other substances are derived from the Oxford Listeria Selective Supplement (1.07006). Listeria monocytogenes hydrolyses esculin to esculetin and forms a black complex with iron (III) ions, thereby producing brown-green colored colonies with a black halo.

Application

GranuCult^® Oxford Agar (Base) is a selective agar for the isolation and detection of Listeria monocytogenes in milk and milk products and other food products.
