The current research emphasis on the isolation and differentiation of Listeria monocytogenes from different food samples most frequently infected with Listeriosis outbreaks. Crude chicken meat, raw milk, pasteurized cheese, ice cream and raw fish are samples from the city of Bangalore. The selective medium mainly used for the isolation of Listeria is oxford agar. Using isolated L. monocytogenes from food samples, morphologic and biochemical identification was carried out. 2 samples (fresh milk and Ice cream) were positive out of 5 samples; 3 samples (raw chicken meat, raw fish, and pasteurized cheese) were negative. The results conferred during this study indicate the contamination of Ice- cream and Raw Milk samples with L. monocytogenes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
