Three cases of neonatal meningitis caused by Enterobacter sakazakii in powdered milk.
Three cases of neonatal infection caused by Enterobacter sakazakii are reported from the Department of Neonatal Intensive Care, the National University Hospital, Reykjavík, Iceland. These infections occurred during a 9-month period in 1986 and 1987. Two of the neonates, who were normal at birth, sur...
