Enterobacter sakazakii occasionally causes illness in premature babies and neonates. Contamination of infant formulae during factory production or bottle preparation is implicated. Advice to health-care professionals focuses on bottle preparation, but the effectiveness of prevention depends on the degree of contamination and contamination sites, which are generally unknown. To keep contamination to a minimum in the finished product depends on knowledge of the occurrence of E sakazakii. We used a refined isolation and detection method to investigate the presence of this micro-organism in various food factories and households. Environmental samples from eight of nine food factories and from five of 16 households contained E sakazakii. The widespread nature of this micro-organism needs to be taken into account when designing preventive control measures.
阪崎肠杆菌偶尔会导致早产儿和新生儿患病。这与工厂生产过程中或奶瓶配制过程中婴儿配方奶粉受到污染有关。针对医护人员的建议主要集中在奶瓶配制方面，但预防措施的有效性取决于污染程度和污染部位，而这些通常是未知的。要将成品中的污染降至最低，取决于对阪崎肠杆菌出现情况的了解。我们采用了一种改进的分离和检测方法，对各类食品工厂和家庭中这种微生物的存在情况进行了调查。九家食品工厂中的八家以及16户家庭中的五户的环境样本中含有阪崎肠杆菌。在设计预防控制措施时，需要考虑到这种微生物广泛存在这一特性。
