Abstrakt

The aim of the review is to characterize Enterobacter sakazakii alias Cronobacter sp. as one of most dangerous microbial contaminants in foods. The microbe is a pathogen causing a serious disease in premature and newborn infants, rarely in adults. Despite a low occurrence of the infections, a high mortality (up to 80 %) has been reported. A survey of methods of its detection is given. Cultivation, chromogenic/fluorogenic media, biochemical kits and molecular genetic methods are promising in Enterobacter sakazakii screening in foods.
