QUANTITY

Peptones and yeast extract favor the excellent growth of Listeria.
Glucose and starch are the energy sources for microbial development.
Sodium chloride maintains osmotic balance.

Listeria hydrolyze esculin to glucose and esculetin, the latter compound forming a black complex with ferric ions supplied by ferric citrate.
Accompanying microflora are inhibited by lithium chloride, ceftazidim, polymyxin and acriflavin.
The fermentation of mannitol by contaminating bacteria that may grow causes phenol red to turn yellow, thereby orienting the diagnosis.
