Oxford Agar (Modified)
Oxford Agar is a selective medium used for the isolation and the enumeration of Listeria monocytogenes and other Listeria in food samples, even highly contaminated.
In compliance with regulatory requirements, a USDA permit (VS 16-3) is mandatory for shipments from Canada to the USA due to the inclusion of peptone, an animal byproduct.
To be used with Oxford selective supplements.
Available in dehydrated base medium : 500g package.
BK250HA replaces BK110HA
*IMPORTANT NOTE: The BS00308 cannot be used with BK250HA and the BS10608 cannot be used with the BK110HA.
Peptone favors the excellent growth of Listeria.
Yeast extract is a source of vitamin B complex. Starch is the energy source for microbial development.
Sodium chloride maintains osmotic balance. Listeria hydrolyze esculin to glucose and esculetin, the latter compound forming a black complex with ferric ions supplied by ferric citrate.
The inhibitor mixture consists of three antibiotics (colistin, cefotetan, and fosfomycin), an antifungal agent, lithium chloride, and an antiseptic dye (acriflavine).
