Neogen (Formally 3M) Petrifilm Environmental Listeria Plates detects the presence of Listeria in environmental samples. A sample-ready culture medium containing selective agents, nutrients in a cold water-soluble gelling agent and a chromogenic indicator.Neogen Petrifilm EL plates are designed to analyse environmental samples and to help increase the efficiency of monitoring plant sanitation. The presence of indicator Listeria such as Listeria innocua provides evidence that environmental conditions are suitable for the occurrence of Listeria monocytogenes. The Petrifilm EL plates detects the majority of environmental Listeria consisting of L. monocytogenes, L. innocua and L. welshimeri.Many organisms in the environment can be stressed by environmental conditions or sanitisers. Buffered peptone water (BPW) is used as a repair broth in conjunction with the Petrifilm EL plate to resuscitate stressed Listeria without increasing their numbers. Repair in BPW is not an enrichment step.
