Prevalence of <i>Cronobacter</i> spp. in Tropical Seafood From Mumbai, India: Comparative Study of Isolation Media and PCR Detection
Cronobacter sakazakii and C. malonaticus are predominant in tropical seafood. RV with chromogenic CS agar is the most efficient isolation medium for Cronobacter. Specificity of existing PCRs is limited to C. sakazakii and C. malonaticus only. Genus- and species-specific PCRs enhance Cronobacter identification.
