Oxoid™ Cronobacter Screening Broth (CSB) (500g) is a selective enrichment medium specifically designed for the detection of Cronobacter species (formerly Enterobacter sakazakii) in powdered infant formula, ingredients, and production environment samples. The formulation supports the growth of Cronobacter while inhibiting competing organisms, providing an effective screening step in compliance with internationally accepted testing methods.

Key Features:

• Form: Dehydrated powder
• Weight: 500g
• Application: Selective enrichment of Cronobacter spp. from powdered infant formula, raw materials, and environmental samples
• Composition: Contains peptones, buffering agents, and selective inhibitors to promote the growth of Cronobacter while suppressing background flora
• Preparation: Suspend 36g in 1 litre of distilled water, mix thoroughly, and autoclave at 121°C for 15 minutes
• Yield: Approximately 13.8 litres of prepared medium
• Storage: Store the dehydrated medium at 10–30°C, protected from moisture and light
• Compliance: Suitable for use in internationally recognised methods for the detection of Cronobacter spp., including ISO and FDA protocols
