Cronobacter is a group of important foodborne pathogens that have been implicated in meningitis, sepsis and necrotising enterocolitis, especially in neonates through consumption of contaminated powdered infant formula ( PIF ). The detection of PIF contamination is of great concern to the infant formula industry. In this article, phenotypic and genotypic methods for detecting and typing C ronobacter are discussed in relation to minimising and controlling the risk of C ronobacter sp. contamination. To reliably detect and type C ronobacter strains, the use of conventional microbiological methods in combination with molecular assays is recommended.
