ABSTRACT
Cronobacter sakazakii is a new emerging foodborne bacterial pathogen associated with fatal infections such as meningitis, necrotizing enterocolitis, and septicemia in neonates. Powdered infant formula milk has been recognized as one of the main transmission vehicles and contaminated sources of this pathogen. Educating parents about the importance of hygienic reconstitution of powdered infant formula, storage practices, and hand hygiene is crucial to reducing the risk of this life-threatening infection. The clinician should be aware of the special considerations for antimicrobial treatment selection as well as further necessary evaluation. Here, we report a case of a twin neonate who presented with C. sakazakii meningitis and septicemia. [Pediatr Ann. 2023;52(11):e430-e433.].
