Liofilchem(®) O.A. Listeria agar and direct CAMP test provided sooner Listeria monocytogenes identification from neonatal bacteremia. Int J Clin Exp Pathol. 2014;7(3):1172-5 Authors: Savini V, Marrollo R, Serio A, Paparella A, Argentieri AV, D'Antonio M, Coclite E, Fusilli P, Fazii P Abstract Listeria monocytogenes infection in pregnant women and newborns is a cause for serious concern, and invasive disease outcome strongly depends on prompt antibiotic therapy. To provide sooner identification from neonatal bacteremia we performed a CAMP test directly on positive blood aliquots and inoculated the Liofilchem(®) O.A. Listeria chromogenic agar as well, thus providing a 24-h turn-around time for response. PMID: 24695762 [PubMed - in process]
