Cronobacter sakazakii is an emerging opportunistic pathogen that has been implicated in cases of severe meningitis, sepsis, and necrotizing enterocolitis in premature and full-term infants.

ES causes sepsis and meningitis in low-birth-weight infants and has been identified in the hospital environment in association with infant bottle brushes and food preparation equipment.PIF has been responsible for infection of infants with Iceland (1986) – three neonatal cases with identical biotypes, plasmid DNA profiles, and antibiograms to strains isolated from infant formula.Belgium (1998) – in an outbreak of necrotizing entercolitis, patient strains had similar arbitrarily primed PCR (AP-PCR) types to isolates from milk.United States (2001) – pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) matched isolates from opened and unopened containers of a nutritional supplement with those from a neonatal meningitis patient.France (2004) – a contaminated hypoallergenic formula was found to be the common link between cases occurring in five hospitals. For these reasons, mothers of such infants must use a breast pump to collect milk for administration through a feeding tube. Emerg Inf Dis. In September 2017, a healthy boy was born at 35 weeks’ gestation in Brazil. Galiz Lacerda, C.A.B. CDC twenty four seven. We collected 1 rectal swab from the newborn brother of the patient on postnatal day 4.

Cronobacter spp. Aim: Cronobacter sakazakii sequence types 1, 4, 8 and 12 are associated with outbreaks of neonatal meningitis and necrotizing enterocolitis infections.

However, several cleaning and disinfection procedures had been performed, limiting our chances to detect the pathogen in these samples. However, we could not trace the total time between the reconstitution of the PIF, the time it was maintained during cooling, and the subsequent feeding to the newborn, because the hospital does not have procedures for recording this process. Chaves, M.L.L. Cronobacter sakazakii ST4 strains and neonatal meningitis, US. Most hospitals now use sterile, ready-to-feed formulas provided by the manufacturer in bottles, with sterile nipples to attach just before use. typically affect low-birth-weight neonates, causing life-threatening meningitis, sepsis …
