  • Ferric Ammonium Citrate (FAC) Supplement E&O Laboratories Ltd Ferric Ammonium Citrate (LS5004) is a supplement used in the isolation of Listeria spp. 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. 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. The medium is intended for the isolation of Listeria spp. from food and environmental samples when used as the secondary enrichment medium in the USDA-FSIS methodology for Listeria isolation. It is generally accepted that the USDA-FSIS two stage enrichment method employing UVM primary and secondary enrichment broths is the most suitable for the examination of meat products.
  • Fraser Broth Selective Supplement E&O Laboratories Ltd Fraser Broth Selective Supplement (LS5002) is an antibiotic supplement used to enhance the selective isolation of Listeria spp. in combination with Fraser Broth.
