Abstract:
:Identification of Cronobacter represent a major challenge for laboratories testing powdered infant formula (PIF). In the present study, two biochemical galleries and three molecular methods have been applied to confirm 276 Cronobacter spp. and non-Cronobacter isolates from different sources. Using the latest database of API 20 E and ID 32 E biochemical miniaturized kits, 53% and 78% of the isolates were identified respectively. From the available results, total accuracy for Cronobacter detection was in 97% (API 20 E) and 99% (ID 32 E). The three molecular methods were based on rRNA based lateral flow, Real Time PCR combined with either a hybridization or hydrolysis probe. For all three methods total accuracy was more than 99%. A pilot trial using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) correctly identified 58 out of 66 isolates (88%) in DNA mixtures. The results indicate that the commercially available approaches such as ID 32 E, rRNA based lateral flow and Real Time PCR are all suitable for Cronobacter identification at the genus level. The NGS method may become a suitable alternative in the future, provided that the sequence database is improved.
