Abstract:
Contamination of dry foods with the Cronobacter genus bacteria poses a significant challenge for ensuring microbiological safety of food products for infants and children, because these pathogens can cause severe infections in infants. We studied Cronobacter strains isolated from samples of dry infant food products sold in the Russian Federation, as well as components for their production. It was found that all the isolated strains belonged to the most epidemiologically significant Cronobacter sakazakii species, and the presence of at least four genes characterizing different virulence mechanisms was confirmed for all strains.
