Type of article: Article

Summary

Enterobacter sakazakii is an emerging foodborne pathogen. Past outbreaks have been linked to infant formulas. The authors investigated the survival and growth of this pathogen on a range of fruits and vegetables stored at 4, 12 or 25°C. Storage at 4°C ensured that populations remained unchanged or decreased. Further work is required in order to characterize the behaviour of this pathogen with respect to packaging and handling practices.
