Product Description
When it comes to reliable Listeria detection, the Modified McBride Listeria HiVeg® Agar Base stands out as a top choice for laboratories and research facilities. This specialized medium is designed to provide optimal conditions for the isolation and identification of Listeria species, including the pathogenic Listeria monocytogenes.
