Abstract excerpt
The influence of potassium tellurite (PT) and brain heart infusion agar (Difco), two components of modified Listeria selective agar medium (LSAMm), on the hemolytic phenotype of Listeria spp. was studied. L. monocytogenes and L. ivanovii displayed bigger zones of hemolysis on brain heart intusion agar compared with on Columbia agar base. The addition of PT increased the sizes of zones of hemolysis displayed by L....
