Enterobacter sakazakii (Cronobacter spp.) Causes infections for people of many ages. It causes dangerous diseases such as meningitis especially in babies born prematurely, born with low weight, low immune system and children.
Worldwide research has begun on health problems related to the consumption of powdered baby food, which increases day by day. As a result of the studies carried out by the Food and Agriculture Organization and the World Health Organization (FAO / WHO) with international sensitivity focusing on powder baby food, Cronobacter spp. and Sallmonella spp. as quality of hygiene.
C. sakazakii can stay alive in powdered baby foods for a long time, as well as cereal-based baby food and some fresh fruits and vegetables play a role in the reproduction of this microorganism.
C. sakazakii is a type of bacteria commonly found in nature. This type of bacteria is mostly found in food products such as meat products, cheese, vegetables and spices, milk powder enterprises, hospitals.
In hospitals, especially in the neonatal unit during infant feeding and due to reasons such as not cleaning the food containers properly, the risk of C. Sakazakii bacteria infecting infants and causing diseases increases.
Analyzes are carried out regularly to reduce the risk of contamination by C. sakazakii bacteria and to ensure proper and hygienic treatment in the production or consumption area.
