Cronobacter is a genus of Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, oxidase-negative, catalase-positive, rod-shaped bacteria of the family Enterobacteriaceae. Several Cronobacter species are desiccation resistant and persistent in dry products such as powdered infant formula. [ 3 ]
Cronobacter sakazakii, which before 2007 was named Enterobacter sakazakii, [2] [3] is an opportunistic Gram-negative, rod-shaped, pathogenic bacterium that can live in very dry places, a phenomenon known as xerotolerance.
Cronobacter turicensis is a bacterium. [1] It is usually food-borne and pathogenic. [2] It is named after Turicum, the Latin name of Zurich, as the type strain originates from there. Its type strain is strain 3032 (=LMG 23827T =DSMZ 18703T). This strain was first isolated from a fatal case of neonatal meningitis. C.
Powdered infant formula is the most common cause of cronobacter infections in babies, the agency said. Asian Davis, 33, of Sikeston, Mo., cradles her 8-month-old daughter Mira White on Oct. 3 ...
Some of the possible symptoms of chronic meningitis (due to any cause) include headache, nausea and vomiting, fever, and visual impairment. Nuchal rigidity (or neck stiffness with discomfort in trying to move the neck), a classic symptom in acute meningitis, was seen in only 45% of cases of chronic meningitis with the sign being even more rare in non-infectious causes.
Symptoms include “sensitivity to light, dizziness, pain behind the eyes, nausea, vomiting, and rash,” the CDC says, while more serious disease includes meningitis, encephalitis, and bleeding.
C. amycolatum has been shown to cause pneumonia, peritonitis, empyema, infectious endocarditis, and fatal sepsis, most of which occur as nosocomial infections.As an opportunistic pathogen, the bacterium is pathogenic in immunocompromised patients, mostly infecting those with underlying heart defects or intravascular devices.
