LPM AGAR BASE

L. monocytogenes is a gram-positive foodborne human pathogen responsible for serious infections in pregnant women that may ultimately result in abortion, stillbirth, birth of child with meningitis or primary bacteremia in adults and juveniles. The organism has been isolated from commercial dairy and other food processing plants, and is ubiquitous in nature, being present in a wide range of unprocessed foods and in soil, sewage and silage and river water. Listeria species grow over a pH range of 4.4 to 9.6, and survive in food products with pH levels outside these parameters. Motility is most pronounced at 20?C. Lee and McClain developed LPM Agar, which is a modification of McBride Listeria Agar. It enhances the recovery of low numbers of L. monocytogenes from mixed microflora in samples. APHA also recommends this medium for food and dairy sample testing.
