Designed for the selective isolation and easy differentiation of Listeria monocytogenes, the PALCAM Agar Base incorporates a double indicator system based on aesculin fermentation and the absence of mannitol fermentation, leading to a noticeable pH change.
Comes in powder form, yielding up to 7.2 liters of medium, ensuring extensive use across multiple tests.
Its selective nature is enhanced by the addition of lithium chloride, ceftazidime, polymyxin B, and acriflavine hydrochloride, making the medium highly selective for Listeria monocytogenes, thereby reducing false positives and improving diagnostic accuracy.
