The genus Cronobacter accommodates the 16 biogroups of the emerging opportunistic pathogen known formerly as Enterobacter sakazakii. Cronobacter spp. are occasional contaminants of milk powder and, consequently, powdered infant formula and represent a significant health risk to neonates. This review presents current knowledge of the food safety aspects of Cronobacter, particularly in infant formula milk powder. Sources of contamination, ecology, disease characteristics and risk management strategies are discussed. Future directions for research are indicated, with a particular focus on the management of this increasingly important bacterium in the production environment.
阪崎肠杆菌属包含了以前被称为阪崎肠杆菌的新兴机会致病菌的16个生物群。阪崎肠杆菌属是奶粉以及由此而来的婴儿配方奶粉的偶发污染物，对新生儿构成重大健康风险。本综述介绍了阪崎肠杆菌食品安全方面的现有知识，特别是在婴儿配方奶粉方面。讨论了污染来源、生态学、疾病特征和风险管理策略。指出了未来的研究方向，特别关注在生产环境中对这种日益重要的细菌的管理。
