Popis:	Moxalactam, nalidixic acid and bacitracin were found to be an effective combination of selective agents that permitted growth of Listeria while suppressing most foodborne genera. These selective agents were used to formulate Modified Vogel Johnson Agar which permitted the quantitative detection of Listeria from foods. Listeria were characteristically tellurite + /mannitol − and could be readily differentiated without the need to view the colonies with oblique reflected light. The combination of selective agents was also effective when employed in conjunction with Modified McBride Agar. Modified Vogel Johnson Agar proved highly effective for isolation of Listeria and should significantly enhance its detection in foods.
