Description

LPM HiVeg™ Agar Base is recommended for isolation and cultivation of Listeria monocytogenes from food and dairy products. Lee and McClain developed this medium, which is a modification of McBride Listeria Agar. It enhances the recovery of low numbers of L. monocytogenes from mixed microflora in samples. APHA also recommends this medium for food and dairy sample testing. This medium is prepared by replacing animal peptones with vegetable defined peptones to avoid BSE/TSE/GMO risk.
