Cronobacter sakazakii growth on different types of naso-gastric tubing / Siti Norbaizura Md Zain and Steve Flint

Cronobacter sakazakii (C. sakazakii) is a ubiquitous environmental contaminant most notable for being associated with the deaths of neonates fed infant formula via naso-gastric tubing. Sixteen isolates from different origins were screened for their potential to form bioflim using a microtitre plate...
