Related to the announcement Germy brand of formula milk by the Ministry of Health, this issue is again inviting the public curiosity. The news of contamination of milk formula with the bacteria E. Sakazakii certainly troubling many parents.
To answer your curiosity, recognize the bacterium E. Sakazakii and what dangers to the health of infants and toddlers following
Excerpted from the website Faculty of Agriculture, IPB, Enterobacter sakazakii (read: enterobakter sakazaki-ai) is a gram-negative pathogens are very deadly in newborns, age 0-6 months. While sakazakii bacteria are a threat to infants aged 6-12 months.
The death rate due to infection of E. Sakazakii in newborns is very high around 40-80 percent, especially in premature babies and babies with lower immunity than babies in general.
These bacteria are in the digestive tract and is found in products like infant formula, cheese, meat, grains to spices. Bacteria E. sakazakii to grow optimally at 30-40 degrees Celsius temperature range. E. Contamination Sakazakii in infant formula is expected to occur during the production process.
When a bacterial cell contamination, within five days of milk products containing endotoxin has been very harmful to the health of babies. This, according to the site, evidenced from studies around the world, not just in IPB.
Until now, studies continue to find the cause of contamination of milk Germy. Allegedly, E. Sakazakii contaminate the infant formula products by air. Thus, mechanisms need to Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point or the analysis of critical points on the dangers of handling the level of production formula.
In use at home, baby formula is generally prepared with minimal heating process. Typically, formula only lukewarm water mixed with a temperature of less than 70 ° C, which is not enough to kill bacteria.
Bacterial endotoxin poison will cause diarrhea, enteritis (inflammation of the intestine), sepsis (poisoning which is caused by the decay process), and meningitis (inflammation of the lining of the brain and spinal cord).
Mentioned, bacterial infections will cause symptoms of fever and diarrhea, which not only caused not only E. sakazakii, but also by other microorganisms. When infants and toddlers experiencing these symptoms, you should immediately consult a doctor. (Kd)
