BRILLIANCE ENTEROBACTER SAKAZAKII AGAR (DFI formulation) Code: CM1055 Brilliance™ Enterobacter sakazakii Agar (formerly Chromogenic Enterobacter sakazakii Agar) is for the differentiation and enumeration of Enterobacter sakazakii from infant formula and other food samples.
* Adjusted as required to meet performance standardsDirections Enterobacter sakazakii is a Gram-negative rod-shaped bacterium that rarely causes disease in healthy adults. It has been implicated in outbreaks of disease in premature infants (neonates). Research suggests that neonates, or those infants who have other medical conditions, are more susceptible to this infection. Most reported cases of infection are severe, including sepsis (bacteria in the blood), meningitis, or necrotizing enterocolitis (severe intestinal infection). Neurological damage may be permanent, and the death rate is reported to be as high as 40-80%2. Enterobacter sakazakii is an opportunistic pathogen which has been isolated at low levels from powdered infant formulas. The organisms’ high tolerance to desiccation provides a competitive advantage for Enterobacter sakazakii in dry environments, as found in milk powder factories, and thereby increases the risk of post-pasteurisation contamination of the finished product3. The current FDA method3 for the detection of Enterobacter sakazakii is based on yellow pigment production and originated from pioneering work of Muytjens et al.4. Samples are incubated in water overnight then enriched in EE Broth (CM0317), followed by plating on VBRGA (CM0485) to isolate Enterobacteriaceae. Five colonies are selected and streaked on Tryptone Soya Agar (CM0131), incubated for up to 3 days and observed for yellow colonies, typical of Enterobacter sakazakii. However, this method does not select for Enterobacter sakazakii and the combined use of EE broth and VRBGA could allow other Enterobacteria to outgrow Enterobacter sakazakii and give false negative results. It is not possible to select for Enterobacter sakazakii colonies from VRBGA plates on the basis of colony morphology as they will appear the same as other Enterobacteria. Technique Oxoid Brilliance Enterobacter sakazakii Agar has been shown to increase the recovery of Enterobacter sakazakii from powdered infant formula and other food samples when it is used to replace the two plating media in the FDA method 20021.
