Abstract
Listeria monocytogenes is a gram positive nonsporing and pathogenic to humans and some animals. It is an important foodborne pathogen that gets transmitted via consumption of contaminated foods.The isolation and detection of this organism is tedious and time consuming. The aim of this study was to determine the preformance of CHROMaagar„Listeria compared to other commonly used selective media Palcam agar and Listeria selective for detection of L.monocytogenes. The sensitivity and the specificity of CHROMagar„Listeria for detection of L. monocytogenes from RTE food samples were 100. The sensitivity of Listeria selective agar and Palcam agar were 85.7 and 64.3 respectively while the specificity was 92.3 for both. The efficiency of CHROMagar„ Listeria 100 was higher than Listeria selective agar 91.6 and Palcam agar 89.3. The isolation of L. monoeytogenes on CHROMagar„Listeria was easier with a relatively high efficiency of detection.
