Enterobacter sakazakii

We don't know much about Enterobacter sakazakii in normal times. It is also a very common species in the Enterobacteriaceae family. The Enterobacteriaceae family is very harmful. There is a high probability of causing neonatal meningitis, bacteremia, and enterocolitis. Once you have such a disease, the mortality rate is very high, up to 50% or even higher. We should be able to prevent such bacteria in time.

Do you know what Cronobacter sakazakii is? It is currently the most harmful bacteria to newborns. Generally, such bacteria can be found in some unqualified milk powder. Especially in recent years, Cronobacter sakazakii has been detected in many dairy products .

Enterobacter sakazakii (also known as Enterobacter sakazakii) is a species of Enterobacteriaceae. It was renamed Enterobacter sakazakii from Enterobacter cloacae in 1980. Enterobacter sakazakii can cause severe neonatal meningitis, enterocolitis and bacteremia, with a mortality rate of over 50%. Currently, microbiologists are unclear about the source of contamination with Enterobacter sakazakii, but many case reports indicate that infant formula is the main route of infection found so far.

Enterobacter sakazakii is a newly discovered pathogenic bacterium in dairy products in recent years. The biological characteristics of Enterobacter sakazakii and its health hazards to the human body have attracted people's attention and have been reported. For example, in October 2008, Weiquan formula milk powder was found to contain the pathogenic bacteria Enterobacter sakazakii.

Colony characteristics

Enterobacter sakazakii is a newly discovered pathogenic bacterium in milk powder (dairy) products. Sporadic and outbreak cases of meningitis, sepsis and necrotizing colitis in infants and premature babies caused by it have occurred around the world. Multiple research reports have shown that infant formula is the main source of infection for infants and premature babies, including meningitis, sepsis, and necrotizing colitis. In some cases, the mortality rate caused by diseases caused by Enterobacter sakazakii can reach 40% to 80%. Enterobacter sakazakii has attracted the attention of relevant departments in many countries around the world.

Any prepared foods left over after feeding infants and young children should be refrigerated and reheated before consumption. China should formulate corresponding management measures based on actual conditions, strengthen research on detection and control technologies for Enterobacter sakazakii, and further improve the standards for infant formula to ensure the health and safety of China's vast infant population.

Now everyone knows that Cronobacter sakazakii is very common in baby formula, so we should pay special attention to the milk powder that babies drink. Generally, there will be some leftover milk powder when babies drink it. Parents should put it away, preferably in the refrigerator. If you want to heat it up next time you consume it, you can avoid the appearance of Cronobacter sakazakii.
