Evidence for a plant-associated natural habitat for Cronobacter spp.
Cronobacter (Enterobacter sakazakii) species are responsible for rare cases of necrotising enterocolitis and bacteraemia in infants, as well as cases of meningitis with high case fatality rates in neonates and immunocompromised infants. Some physiological features, such as the production of a yellow pigment, the formation of a gum-like extracellular polysaccharide and the ability to persist in ...
متن کاملIdentification of "Cronobacter" spp. (Enterobacter sakazakii).
A taxonomic reclassification of the neonatal pathogen Enterobacter sakazakii to consist of five species within a new genus, "Cronobacter," has recently been proposed. The correct identification of these organisms is important to clinicians. Therefore, using 312 Enterobacteriaceae, including 210 "Cronobacter" strains, the reliabilities of biochemical and genetic confirmation tests were investiga...
متن کاملEnterobacter spp.: - An emerging nosocomial infection

Today, there are more than 30 distinct genera and more than 100 species within the family. Enterobacter genus of family Enterobacteriaceae has gained in recent years the attention of taxonomists, microbiologists and clinicians alike. The members of genus Enterobacter are...
متن کاملBartonella spp. as emerging human pathogens.
Members of the genus Bartonella (formerly Rochalimaea) were virtually unknown to modern-day clinicians and microbiologists until they were associated with opportunistic infections in AIDS patients about 6 years ago. Since that time, Bartonella species have been associated with cat scratch disease, bacillary angiomatosis, and a variety of other disease syndromes. Clinical presentation of infecti...
متن کاملInternational survey of Cronobacter sakazakii and other Cronobacter spp. in follow up formulas and infant foods.
A coordinated survey for Cronobacter and related organisms in powdered infant formula, follow up formula and infant foods was undertaken by 8 laboratories in 7 countries in recognition of and in response to the data needs identified in an FAO/WHO call for data in order to develop global risk management guidance for these products. The products (domestic and imported) were purchased from the loc...
