    Fraser Broth

    A modification of UVM Medium, Fraser Broth is a secondary selective enrichment broth for the isolation of Listeria spp primarily from food and environmental specimens. The medium is made selective by the inclusion of Nalidixic Acid and Acriflavine. Darkening of the broth following incubation, due to the presence of Aesculin and Ferric Ammonium Citrate, is indicative of the presence of Listeria spp. Lithium Chloride is also included to inhibit the growth of enterococci that would otherwise hydrolyse the Aesculin. This medium is generally used in conjunction with Fraser Broth Half-Strength (BM0647). NB:  It should be noted that the lack of darkening of the broth should not be taken as a final negative result and all Fraser Broth enrichment cultures should be sub-cultured onto an appropriate selective agar medium irrespective of colour.
  • A modification of UVM11 Medium, Fraser Broth Half-Strength is a primary selective enrichment broth for the isolation of Listeria spp. from food and environmental samples and is generally used in conjunction with Fraser Broth (BM0640). Although the base is identical to Fraser Broth it differs in that it contains only half the quantity of selective agents (Nalidixic acid and Acriflavine).

    GC Agar

    GC Agar when used with blood and other enrichment is for the isolation of Neisseria gonorrhoeae but is also capable of supporting the growth of most fastidious micro-organisms. This medium is based on the modified formulation described by Thayer and Martin that was based on the original formulation stated by Johnson. Enrichment is usually attained using lysed blood but haemoglobin powder or chocolated blood are suitable alternatives. Additional enrichment can be provided by the addition of Suplex supplement (BM0478) which consists of yeast extract and glucose. Selective variants of GC Agar can be prepared through the addition of various selective supplements such as VCAT (LS0002) or LCAT (LS0001). These supplements will suppress most of the background flora likely to be present in specimen and will restrict the swarming of Proteus spp. The peptone is the source of the required nitrogen, carbon and vitamins. Sodium chloride maintains the osmotic balance in the medium. Starch is present to absorb toxic metabolites and phosphate buffers prevent pH changes during incubation.

Lim broth is a nutritious, selective broth utilising the base formulation developed by Todd and Hewitt (1) for the enrichment of Group B streptococci. It is intended as a selective, enrichment broth for Streptococcus agalactiae that may be present is specimens. The device is primarily intended for use in screening pregnant women for the presence of S. agalactiae, which poses a significant risk of infection in new-born infants that may result in serious illness or death.
  • Half Fraser Broth Selective Supplement E&O Laboratories Ltd Half Fraser Selective Supplement (LS5003) is selective supplement for the primary enrichment of Listeria spp from food and environmental samples when used with Fraser Broth.Fraser Broth is a modification of the USDA-FSIS (United States Department of Agriculture-Food Safety Inspection Service) UVM secondary enrichment broth and is based on the formula described by Fraser and Sperber. It contains ferric ammonium citrate and lithium chloride. Blackening of the medium is presumptive evidence of the presence of Listeria. Contrary to early indications, cultures which do not blacken cannot be assumed to be Listeria-free. All Fraser Broth enrichment cultures should be subcultured to plating medium. Fraser Broth has proven to be remarkably accurate in detecting Listeria spp. in food and environmental samples. All Listeria spp. hydrolyse aesculin to aesculetin. Aesculetin reacts with ferric ions which results in blackening. Another possible advantage to the addition of ferric ammonium citrate is that it has been shown that ferric ions enhance the growth of Listeria monocytogenes. Lithium chloride is included in the medium to inhibit the growth of enterococci which can also hydrolyse aesculin. Half Fraser Broth is a modification of Fraser Broth which contains half of the concentration of nalidixic acid and acriflavine hydrochloride to aid in the recovery of stressed cells. Half Fraser Broth is used as the primary enrichment broth in the ISO methodology for the detection of Listeria.

  • This medium was initially intended for the selective isolation of Shigella spp. but can also be used for Salmonella spp. primarily from clinical specimens although it has been used in the examination of dairy products. The medium contains high levels of Peptone to counteract some of the toxic effects, particularly on Shigella, of the Bile Salts used to make the medium selective. In addition to Lactose, Sucrose and Salicin are also included allowing for improved differentiation than with Lactose only. The presence of H2S is detected by the reaction between Ammonium Ferric Citrate and Sodium Thiosulphate. A double indicator system of Acid Fuchsin and Bromothymol Blue is helpful in the differentiation process.

  • Lysed horse blood is used for special purposes in culture media. It has been used for many years in Corynebacterium diphtheriae media, where better growth was observed after lysis of the horse blood by the tellurite in the medium. It is also documented that lysed blood stimulates the growth of Haemophilus influenzae due to the release of Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide in the horse blood from the ruptured erythrocytes. In antibiotic susceptibility testing, lysed horse blood is added to the medium to improve the reactions with trimethoprim and sulphonamides. Most culture media, unless specially processed for susceptibility testing, contain amounts of thymidine which can antagonise the inhibitory effects of these antimicrobials. When horse blood is lysed the erythrocytes release an enzyme thymidine phosphorylase which converts thymidine into the much less antagonistic compound thymine.
  • Hoyle’s agar is selective culture medium for the isolation and differentiation of Corynebacterium diphtheriae types. Hoyle’s agar allows for rapid growth of the organisms and normally 18 hours incubation should be sufficient for a diagnosis. As the medium is highly selective, inoculation should be by rubbing the swab (or other material) over the entire surface of the agar, there is no need to spread the inoculum with a loop indeed doing so can cause the organism to be missed especially when they are present only in small numbers. The Elek method can be used to determine the toxigenicity of any C. diptheriae strains. The beef extract and peptone act as a source of nitrogen, carbon and vitamins. The sodium chloride maintains osmotic balance. This medium should be used in conjunction with two supplements: lysed horse blood at 50 ml/l and 10ml/l of potassium tellurite 3.5% solution (BM2230). Lysed horse blood provides added nutrients to the medium and potassium tellurite inhibits Gram-negative and several Gram-positive microorganisms.

  • Legionella agar was designed for the isolation of Legionella spp. and is used primarily in water and environmental laboratories. Since Legionella spp. are fastidious organisms, the medium contains yeast extract as a source of nitrogen, carbon and vitamins. Charcoal is also included to neutralise growth-inhibiting substances and agar is the solidifying agent. The medium requires supplementation with ferric pyrophosphate as a source of iron, L-cysteine, an essential amino acid for the growth of Legionella spp. and α-ketoglutaric acid, which acts as a growth stimulant. ACES buffer/potassium hydroxide is also added to maintain the optimal pH of 6.9 for growth of Legionella spp. Omission of the L-cysteine produces a confirmation medium that can be used to test presumptive Legionella spp. as isolates will not be able to grow.
