TSA/YE plates were incubated at 35 ± 1°C for 24-48 hours and then examined for purity. Pure colonies were tested for catalase reactivity and a Gram Stain was conducted. A pure Listeria colony was transferred to Trypticase Soy Broth containing 0.6% yeast extract (TSB/YE). The TSB/YE cultures were incubated at 25 ± 1°C overnight, or until the broth was turbid, indicating sufficient growth. Catalase-positive organisms were stabbed into plates of 5% Sheep Blood Agar (SBA) and incubated at 35 ± 1°C for 24-48 hours. The TSB/YE tubes incubated at 25 ±1°C were used to prepare a wet mount slide to determine motility pattern. After incubation, the SBA plates were examined for hemolysis. Final confirmation was conducted using the VITEK ® GP Twenty-five gram test portions were enriched in 225 mL ± 5 mL of selective enrichment medium, containing yeast extract (1.35 g/225 mL), acriflavine mono hydrochloride (1.125 g/225 mL), nalidixic acid (sodium salt) solution (1.125 g/225 mL), and cycloheximide (2.25 g/225 mL), and incubated at 30 ± 1 °C for 48 hours. The enriched samples were then streaked to Oxford Agar (OXA) and incubated at 37 ± 1°C for 48 hours. At 48 hours, the OXA plates were examined for suspect colonies. If present, up to 5 suspect colonies were streaked to TSA/YE to obtain well isolated, pure colonies. Pure colonies on TSA/YE were analyzed for Gram-stain reaction and for catalase activity. Catalase positive, Gram positive rods colonies were then stabbed to SBA and incubated at 37 ±1 °C for 48 hours. After 48 hours, the SBA plates were examined for typical hemolytic reactions. The same colony picked to SBA was also transferred to TSB/YE. The TSB/YE cultures were incubated at 25 ± 1 °C overnight, or until the broth was turbid, indicating sufficient growth. Another TSB/YE tube was inoculated with the same colony and incubated at 37 ±1 °C for 24 hours to be used for carbohydrate utilization testing. The TSB/YE tube incubated at 25 ±1 °C was used to prepare a wet mount slide to determine motility pattern. From the TSB/YE tube incubated at 37 ± 1 °C, Motility Test Medium (MTM) was stabbed and incubated at 25 ±1 o C. After 2 days, and up to 7 days, the MTM tubes were observed for umbrella-like growth. Additionally from the TSB/YE tube, a loopful (0.1 mL) was transferred into carbohydrate fermentation broth (purple broth) containing 1.0 mL of either 5% rhamnose or 5% xylose. The purple broth tubes were incubated at 37 ± 1 °C and examined for up For the ISO 11290-1/A1 reference method, 25 g test portions were enriched with 225 half Fraser broth. All test portions were mechanically stomached for two minutes. The test portions were incubated at 30 ± 1°C for 24 ± 3 hours. After incubation, 0.1 mL of the sample enrichment was transferred to 10 mL FB containing 0.1 mL of 5% ferric ammonium citrate and incubated at 37 ± 1°C for 48 ± 3 hours. After 48 ± 3 hours, a loopful of the sample secondary FB enrichment was streaked to PALCAM and Ottovani-Agosti Agar (OAA) and incubated at 37 ± 1°C for 24 ± 3 hours. A loopful of the sample primary enrichment was also streaked to PALCAM and OAA and incubated at 37 ± 1°C for 24 ± 3 hours. PALCAM and OAA agar plates were examined for the presence of suspect colonies. If no suspect colonies were present, the agar plate was re-incubated for an additional 18-24 hours at 37 ± 1°C. If no suspect colonies present the sample was determined to be negative for Listeria. If suspect colonies were present on the PALCAM or Biochemical Identification card following AOAC OMA 2013.02.
