Oxoid™ Fraser Broth Base (500g) CM0895B is a selective enrichment medium used for the isolation and enrichment of Listeria monocytogenes and other Listeria species from food, water, and environmental samples. It provides a nutrient-rich environment that supports the growth of Listeria while inhibiting the growth of other microorganisms. This medium is commonly used in the first stage of a two-step procedure for the isolation of Listeria species.

Key Features:

• Form: Dehydrated powder
• Weight: 500g
• Application: Selective enrichment of Listeria species from food, water, and environmental samples
• Composition: Contains nutrients to promote the growth of Listeria species and selective agents such as nalidixic acid and acriflavine to inhibit competing microorganisms
• Preparation: Suspend 45g in 1 litre of distilled water, mix thoroughly, and autoclave at 121°C for 15 minutes. The medium can be further supplemented with Fraser Supplement for enhanced selective properties.
• Yield: Approximately 11 litres of prepared medium
• Storage: Store the dehydrated medium at 10–30°C, protected from moisture and light
• Compliance: Suitable for use in microbiological testing protocols for the isolation and enrichment of Listeria monocytogenes and other Listeria species
