Product information

Fraser Broth Base is a selective medium used for the secondary enrichment of Listeria monocytogenes and Listeria spp., as described in ISO 11290-1:2017. Fraser Broth is not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions in humans.

Listeria spp. hydrolyze esculin to esculetin which reacts with the ferric ammonium citrate resulting in a black precipitate and a visible positive reaction.
