Abstract
The invention relates to a process of bacteriological analysis for differentiating the pathogenic monocytogenes species in a sample which may contain bacteria of the listeria genus, a medium for its implementation and a device for identifying Listeria monocytogenes. The process consists in bringing the sample to be analyzed into contact with an identification medium comprising a chromogenic or fluorigenic substrate capable of being hydrolyzed by glycine aminopeptidase.
