M1786I Cronobacter Selective Broth CSB enterobacter sakazakii HIMEDIA

Cronobacter Selective Broth (CSB)

INTENDED USE
Recommended for screening Cronobacter (formerly Enterobacter sakazakii) from food. The composition and performance of this media are as per specifications laid down in ISO 22964:2017(E).

PRINCIPLE AND INTERPRETATION
Cronobacter (formerly Enterobacter sakazakii) are gram-negative rod-shaped Enterobacteriaceae that have been
implicated in outbreaks of disease causing sepsis, meningitis and necrotising enterocolitis. Cronobacter species have also been isolated from powdered infant formula as high tolerance to desiccation provides a competitive advantage in dry environments increasing the risk of contamination.

Cronobacter Screening Broth was specifically designed by Iversen et. al. Cronobacter Selective Broth is recommended by ISO Committee for the isolation of Cronobacter species from food samples. Peptone and HM extract provide carbonaceous, nitrogenous compounds, long chain amino acids and other essential nutrients. Sodium chloride maintains osmotic equilibrium. Sucrose present is fermented by Cronobacter. Consequently the broth turns yellow after incubation.
