Popis: | The Canadian reference method for the enumeration of Listeria monocytogenes (Health Canada method MFLP-74) was modified by the addition of a layer of non-selective tryptone soy agar (TSA) to the Oxford, Palcam, and (or) Rapid’L.mono selective agars, to improve the recovery of stressed L. monocytogenes from frozen foods. The performance of the standard selective agars versus the selective agars with an additional TSA agar layer (TAL agars) showed that for each of the frozen food items tested (vegetables, shrimp and meatballs), as well as for all data combined, L. monocytogenes counts were significantly higher (up to 20% higher) in TAL agars in relation to the standard agars (p |
