Cronobacter sakazakii
a coliform bacterium of increased
concern to human health.
Milan Marounek, Department of
Microbiology, Nutrition and Dietetics
1
Cronobacter sakazakii

Formerly Enterobacter sakazakii
(till 2007), belongs to
Enterobacteriaceae.

Molite, Gram-negative, nonsporulating straight rod.

Size of cells: 0.5 – 1.5 x 2 – 3 μm

Ferments glucose and other sugars.

Difference from related
Enterobacter species consists in its
inability to ferment D-sorbitol and
ability to produce extracellular
deoxyribonuclease.

of C. malonaticus DSM 3148. Scale bar
is 5 μm.

Genus Cronobacter is
composed of five species:
C. sakazakii
C. malonaticus
C. turicensis
C. muytjensii
C. dublinensis
The first three species are
opportunistic human pathogens.
4
C. sakazakii, C. malonaticus and C.
turicensis have been associated with
neonatal infections:

Necrotizing enterocolitis

Meningitis
Mortality of neonatal C. sakazakii infections
has been reported as high as 50%.
One half of infected infants die within 1
week of diagnosis.
5
Infections among adults

C. sakazakii infections in adults
are rare.

Most adults with C. sakazakii
infections had serious
underlaying diseases (cancers,
alcohol abuse, diabetes mellitus).

Potential victims of C. sakazakii
infections are
immunocompromised patients
6
The most important risk factor for human
health is the incidence of C. sakazakii, in
powdered infant formula.
According to the EU Directive no.
1441/2007 about microbiological criteria
for food the absence of C. sakazakii is
required in infant milk formula and in
dried food for infants.
7
In the Czech Republic:
Directive ČSN 1P ISO TS 22964
„Milk and milk products – Detection of
Enterobacter sakazakii“
has been approved for isolation and
identification of C. sakazakii in powdered
milk, milk products and infant formula.
Standard microbiological techniques for
detection of C. sakazakii are sensitive,
but time-consuming.
There is a need for the elaboration of
rapid, reliable and sensitive methods for
detection of C. sakazakii in foods.

Physiological characteristics of
C. sakazakii
 Growth was observed between 25°C
and 45°C. No growth occurred at 4°C
or 50°C.
 Resistance to acid pH.
 Production of extracellular
polysaccharide (formation of biofilm).
 Resistance to dry stress.
 Resistance to high osmolarity.
 Resistance to many antibiotics.
9
Environmental reservoirs of
C. sakazakii ?
 Water, soil, plants.
 Vectors such as flies and rodents.
 Probably not bovine milk,
domesticates animals, grain.
 Environment of food factories and
households.


Resistance of Cronobacter sp. to dry
stress.
Cronobacter sp. exhibited a strong
resistance to dry stress.
Viable counts of cells dried in air and
left at 25°C for 46 days decreased
only by 1.0 – 1.5 log CFU/ml.

Resistance of Cronobacter sp. to acid
and alkaline stresses.
The pH optimum was 7.2.
Isolates were resistant to high pH.
The growth was only slightly inhibited
at pH 11.0.
The strains did not survive at pH < 4.0.
11
Survival of Cronobacter sp. in the production
process of infant formula.
 Cronobacter sp. does not survive
pasteurization of milk.
 Efficacy of disinfection in killing
Cronobacter in biofilm is rather low:
Using ethanol or NaOH alone does not
guarantee the inactivation.
 The complete elimination of
Cronobacter from the whole production
line is difficult due to high resistance to
dry stress and disinfectants.
 The presence of Cronobacter in infant
formula is possible due to recontamination in the course of drying
and packaging.

Are there effective methods for reduction
of Cronobacter in foods?
 Natural antimicrobial substances
include bacteriocins, essential oils,
antimicrobial lipids.
 Several fatty acids and their
monoacylglycerols inhibit a range of
microorganisms (Escherichia coli,
Salmonella, Campylobacter).
 In our experiment we determined
activity of 4 medium-chain fatty acids,
their monoacylglycerols and sucrose
caprate against C. sakazakii and C.
malonaticus.
