The monitoring of E. sakazakii contamination has become essential for all baby food manufacturers.

AES Laboratoire has developed a very simple but reliable method to detect this microorganism in food stuff and environmental samples. The method combines a chromogenic culture medium (24h at 37°C - ESIATM E. Sakazakii Isolation Agar) with a specific enrichment broth (24h at 37°C - ESSBTM E. Sakazakii Selective Broth).

The high performance level of the method has led international bodies to include ESIATM in their testing programs for the development of official methods.
