| NCTC Number: | NCTC 11994 |
| Current Name: | Listeria monocytogenes |
| Original Strain Reference: | F. 646/86 |
| Other Collection No: | WDCM 00019 |
| Previous Catalogue Name: | Listeria monocytogenes |
| Type Strain: | No |
| Family: | Listeriaceae |
| Hazard Group (ACDP): | 2 |
| Conditions for growth on solid media: | Columbia blood agar, 24-48 hours, 30°C, aerobic |
| Other: | IMPORTANT NOTICE: Listeria monocytogenesThe Type Strain of L. monocytogenes is NCTC 10357, but it is atypical in the CAMP test (with Staphylococcus aureus NCTC 1803) and is non-haemolytic: phenotypically, it identifies as Listeria innocua. This culture is also non-motile. For a typical strain of L. monocytogenes we recommend NCTC 7973. (See also: Jones, D. & Seeliger, H. P. R. (1983) Int. J. syst. Bact 33, 429) |
