PG - 88-93 LID - 10.1016/j.fm.2008.08.007 [doi] AB - Rapid methods still rely on a prior (shortened) enrichment step before application. Quantitative information is a prerequisite for understanding the resuscitation kinetics of the growth during the enrichment step. In this study various basal and newly introduced selective enrichment broths were evaluated. First, growth parameters (lambda, mu(max)) of both healthy and sub-lethally injured cells were determined. Next, a selection of enrichment broths was compared for their capacity to support detection within 24h of low numbers of Listeria monocytogenes in artificially and naturally contaminated food samples. Detection was performed either by phage protein-based capture (Listeria Capture kit, Profos, Regensburg, Germany) combined with plating on chromogenic medium or by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) using the VIT-Listeria kit (Vermicon, Munich, Germany). Kinetics of resuscitation and growth of L. monocytogenes in various enrichment broths showed that for detection of low numbers of sub-lethally injured L. monocytogenes cells at least an overnight enrichment was needed. A selective enrichment broth was needed to enable proliferation of L. monocytogenes within the indigenous bacterial flora present in foods. However, combination of an appropriate enrichment condition with advanced detection techniques may enable a 24h detection of L. monocytogenes.
