Simplified Henry technique for initial recognition of Listeria colonies.
نویسنده
چکیده
The Henry oblique transmitted-light viewing technique was modified to provide a more precise, convenient, and familiar manner with which to read (score) and recognize colonies of listeriae by their distinct bluish cast. The simplified technique involved illuminating each colony directly with a high-intensity lamp while viewing it with a hand lens at a precise angle in place of a scanning light microscope.

The presence of Listeria monocytogenesin raw milk samples in Mashhad, Iran
The purpose of this preliminary study was to determine the prevalence of raw milk contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. In this study, 100 bulk tank milk samples were collected randomly and delivered to Pegah Pasteurization Factory in Mashhad.For isolation and identification of L. monocytogenes, the samples were first enriched using cold enrichment method in Listeriaenrichment broth, follo...
متن کاملReplica plating of colonies from Listeria-selective agars to blood agar to improve the isolation of Listeria monocytogenes from foods.
Bacterial colonies from Listeria-selective agars were replica plated to sheep blood agar to screen for beta-hemolysis. By using the replica plating method to test for the beta-hemolytic characteristic of all the colonies growing on Listeria-selective agars instead of picking 3 to 10 suspected colonies for further testing, we recovered Listeria monocytogenes from 59 of 142 Listeria-selective aga...
متن کاملDifferential diagnosis between Streptococcus agalactiae and Listeria Monocytogenes in the clinical laboratory.
Streptococci of the group B (S. agalactiae) and Listeria monocytogenes resemble each other in many morphological and biochemical characteristics. Ten beta-hemolytic strains of each species were subjected to 26 tests commonly and easily performed in the clinical laboratory. Macroscopic and microscopic morphology on solid media showed differences only in the size of the colonies and in the length...

Background and Objectives: Linear alkyl benzene sulfonates are widely used as surfactants in formulated detergent products. Because of their use in household and industrial detergents, LAS is discharged into wastewater collection systems and subsequently entered to wastewater treatment plants. Therefore, it is important to determine the concentration of LAS with accuracy. They are usually deter...
متن کاملSpatial interactions between subsurface bacterial colonies in a model system: a territory model describing the inhibition of Listeria monocytogenes by a nisin-producing lactic acid bacterium.
The effect of spatial separation on interactions between subsurface bacterial colonies was tested using a model system: the inhibition of Listeria monocytogenes by nisin-producing and nisin-non-producing Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis. Separation distance was controlled by altering the number of inoculum organisms within the agar. Mean separation distance was calculated by determining the mea...
