(Farmer et al. 1980)
 Enterobacter sakazakii is a Gram-negative rod-shapedpathogenic bacterium. It is a rare cause of invasive infection with historically high case fatality rates (40–80%) ininfants.[2][3][4]
It can cause bacteraemiameningitis and necrotising enterocolitisE. sakazakii infection has been associated with the use of powdered infant formula[2][4], with some strains able to survive in a desiccated state for more than 2 years.

Taxonomy

Enterobacter sakazakii is a Gram-negative rod-shapedpathogenic bacterium. It is a rare cause of invasive infection with historically high case fatality rates (40–80%) ininfants.[2][3][4]

It can cause bacteraemiameningitis and necrotising enterocolitisE. sakazakii infection has been associated with the use of powdered infant formula[2][4], with some strains able to survive in a desiccated state for more than 2 years.  

Habitat and Distribution Resources

Enterobacter sakazakii is not a normal microorganisms in the digestive tract of animalsand humans, so that was allegedly that of land, water, vegetables, rats and flies are a source of infection. [3] Enterobacter sakazakii can be found in several food industryenvironment (factory milk, chocolate, potatoes, cereals, and pasta), aqueousenvironment, moist soil sediments. In some of the potential food contaminated with E.sakazakii such as cheese, sausages, preserved meat loaf, vegetables, and milkpowder.

Health Hazards

The report on the infection of E. sakazakii showed that these bacteria can causemeningitis and inflammation of the intestines in infants [4]. The group has the highest risk infants infected with E. sakazakii of neonates (new born up to age 28 days), infantswith disorders of the body systems, infants with low birth weight (LBW), preterm infants,and infants born to mothers who suffered from Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) [7]
Enterobacter sp. a nosocomial pathogen that causes various kinds of infectionsincluding bacteremia, lower respiratory tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, urinary tract infection, infection in the stomach, heart inflammation, arthritis,osteomyelitis, and eye infections [8]
The death rate due to infection of E. sakazakii reached 40-80%. [9]As many as 50 %of patients who reported suffering from infection of E. sakazakii die within a week afterdiagnosis. [2] Up to now there has been no determination of infectious dose of E.sakazakii, but at 3 cfu/100 g can be used as an initial estimate of dose infection.
