UVM Broth is used for the selective enrichment of Listeria spp and is not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions in humans.UVM Broth is a modification of the formula described by Donnelly and Baigent. This formula is used for the selective enrichment of Listeria spp. from food samples. Listeria spp. grow over a pH range of 5.0 - 9.6 and survive in food products with pH levels outside these parameters. Listeria spp. are microaerophilic, Gram-positive, asporogenous, non-encapsulated, non-branching, short, motile rods. Motility is pronounced at 20°C. Identification of Listeria is based on successful isolation of the organism, biochemical characterization, and serological confirmation.For more information visit https://www.neogen.com/solutions/Microbiology/uvm-broth
