Moms and dads, Saya iseng cari2 di internet ttg bakteri ini, lha koq ya di negara2 maju juga jadi issue, dan susu di sana juga pernah ditengarai jadi penyebab bakteri ini menyerang bayi. Yang resiko paling tinggi adalah newborn baby, alias bayi baru lahir, so berikan ASI untuk bayi2 Anda sekalian, apalagi yg baru lahir.

This report summarizes the investigation of a fatal infection associated with *E. sakazakii* in a hospitalized neonate, which indicated that the infection was associated with the presence of the organism in commercial powdered formula fed to the infant. The implicated batch of formula has been recalled by the manufacturer. Clinicians should be aware of the potential risk for infection from use of nonsterile enteral formula in the neonatal health-care setting. In April 2001, a male infant (2 lbs, 13 oz [1,270 grams]) was delivered by cesarean section at 33.5 weeks' gestation and was hospitalized in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) because of low birthweight, prematurity, and respiratory distress. The infant had fever, tachycardia, decreased vascular perfusion, and neurologic abnormalities (e.g., suspected seizure activity) at 11 days. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) obtained by lumbar puncture was analyzed and revealed a white blood cell count of 32/mm3 [normal=0--0.5/mm3], red blood cell count of 27/mm3 [normal=0], protein of 292 mg/dL [normal=15--45 mg/dL], and glucose of 1 mg/dL [normal= 40--70 mg/dL]. Culture of CSF grew *E. sakazakii*. The infant was treated with intravenous antimicrobials for meningitis; however, neurologic damage was progressive, and the infant died 9 days later. Because the organism was a rare cause of neonatal meningitis, hospital personnel, in collaboration with the Tennessee Department of Health and CDC, investigated the source of infection. http://www.who.int/foodsafety/publications/micro/mra6/en/
