ABSTRACT
ãThe four types of chromogenic selective media that are commercially available in Japan were compared for establishing a Japanese standard method for detecting Cronobacter spp. based on ISO/TS 229642006. When assessed using 9 standard Cronobacter spp. strains and 29 non-Cronobacter strains, Enterobacter sakazakii isolation agar, ChromocultTM Enterobacter sakazakii agar, CHROMagarTM E. sakazakii, and XM-sakazakii agar demonstrated excellent inclusivity and exclusivity. Using the ISO/TS 229642006 method, the recovered numbers of 38 Cronobacter spp. strains, including 29 C. sakazakii isolates obtained from each medium, were equivalent, indicating that there was no significant difference (p > 0.05) among the four types of chromogenic selective media. Thus, we demonstrated that these four chromogenic selective media are suitable alternatives when using the standard method for detecting Cronobacter spp. in Japan, based on the ISO/TS 229642006.
