Oxoid has introduced two culture media for the fast and reliable identification of Cronobacter species (formerly known as Enterobacter sakazakii) from food and environmental samples.
The ongoing development of a new horizontal CEN-ISO standard method for the detection of Cronobacter species by the ISO/TC 34, SC9 Ad hoc group for E.
sakazakii, addresses issues such as the scope of the method, reliability of identification criteria and improvements to the media1.
In anticipation of these future needs, Oxoid has launched Cronobacter Screening Broth and Chromogenic Cronobacter Isolation Agar.
The Oxoid range also includes media that conform to current ISO requirements (ISO/TS 22964: 2006).
This ISO method, which incorporates the use of buffered peptone water (CM1049), modified Lauryl Sulphate Tryptose Broth (CM1133 and SR0247) and Enterobacter sakazakii Isolation Agar (CM1134), allows the presumptive identification of Cronobacter spp in 72 hours.
