Foreword
This Standard replaces GB 4789.40-2010 National food safety standard Food
microbiological examination. Enterobacter sakazakii, SN/T 1632.1-2013
Detection of enterobacter sakazakii from dehydrated powdered milk for
export - Part 1. Isolation and enumeration.
Compared with GB 4789.40-2010, the main changes in this Standard are as
follows.
- modified the standard’s name to “National Food Safety Standard - Food
Microbiological Examination - Examination of Cronobacter
(Enterobacter Sakazakii)”;
- modified the number of suspicious colonies picked.

7 Operation steps
7.1 Sample dilution
7.1.1 Solid and semi-solid samples. sterilely weigh 100 g, 10 g, 1g of
samples, respectively add into 900 mL, 90 mL, 9 mL of BPW that have been
preheated to 44°C. Gently shake to fully dissolved, make 1.10 sample
homogenizing solution, culture at 36°C ± 1°C for 18h ± 2h. Respectively
transfer 1 mL to inoculate in 10 mL LmST-Vm broth, culture at 44°C ± 0.5°C
for 24h ± 2h.
7.1.2 Liquid sample. use a sterile pipette to take 100 mL, 10 mL, 1 mL of
samples, respectively add into 900 mL, 90 mL, 9 mL of BPW that have been
preheated to 44°C. Gently shake to fully dissolved, make 1.10 sample
homogenizing solution, culture at 36°C ± 1°C for 18h ± 2h. Respectively
transfer 1 mL to inoculate in 10 mL LmST-Vm broth, culture at 44°C ± 0.5°C
for 24h ± 2h.
7.2 Separation, identification
Same with 5.2 and 5.3.
8 Result and report
Combining the colony morphology, biochemical characteristics and according
to the confirmed number of positive tubes of Cronobacter, check MPN search
table and report the MPN value of Cronobacter per 100 g (mL) of sample (see
Table B.1).
sterilization. The vancomycin solution can be stored at 0°C ~ 5°C for 15 d.
