CDC Warns Deadly Bacteria Found in Formula and Breast Pump: What Parents Need to Know
A new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that two babies have been infected by Cronobacter sakazakii - a rare but sometimes life-threatening bacteria. The first report occurred in September 2021 after an infant was formula fed. The CDC did extensive testing on the formula and found that there was none inside the powder, and the contamination is suspected to have occurred from the scooper or another device. After hospitalization and IV antibiotics, the child who became infected made a full recovery.
In February 2022, another baby contracted the bacteria and died 13 days after the infection began. Contaminated breastfeeding equipment is believed to be the likely culprit.
What is Cronobacter sakazakii
C. sakazakii is a rare but sometimes life-threatening disease that causes “meningitis and is often fatal in young infants,” according to a CDCTrusted Source statement. This bacterium tends to infect those who are very young and especially premature babies. And while this infection is treated with antibiotics, death occurs in approximately 40% of those who develop meningitis due to risk factors and complications.
According to the US Food and Drug Administration's Trusted Source, this bacterium occurs naturally in the environment and can exist on "almost any surface and is particularly good at surviving in dry foods such as powdered infant formula, milk powder, herbal teas and starches.”
Despite these serious complications, it is estimated that only 18 cases of invasive C. sakazakii occur each year in the United States, most of which occur due to contamination of infant feeding products and equipment.
Although this bacteria can cause serious damage, Dr. Anna Morad, says, "it is important to recognize that this is not a common infection."
"It doesn't cause illness in older children and healthy adults, but it can cause illness in young babies, usually under 3 months of age, or those with weakened immune systems," Morad tells Healthline .
How to identify symptoms in babies
Because young infants are commonly affected by this bacterium, detection can sometimes be challenging. Many symptoms begin with poor feeding, excessive crying, fever and even low energy. In more severe cases, some babies may also develop seizures, as this bacteria can infect the brain and the fluid inside the spinal cord.
Bacteria linked to previous formula recalls
Edhe pse aktualisht nuk ka raporte se cila markë formule ose furnizimi me gji është përfshirë në mënyrë specifike në këto raste të fundit, kjo është i njëjti bakter që shkaktoi mbylljen e fabrikës së formulave për foshnjat e "Abbott Nutrition" në 2022. Besohet se në fabrika C.sakazakii mund të futet në pluhur formula nëse pluhuri prek një sipërfaqe të kontaminuar ose nëse përbërësit e kontestuar janë përdorur për të bërë formulën. Në një shtëpi, sterilizimi i pamjaftueshëm i shisheve, enëve ose aksesorëve të tjerë të pompës së gjirit, si dhe larja e pamjaftueshme e duarve dhe uji i kontaminuar i përdorur për përzierjen e formulës mund të jenë të gjitha burime infeksioni.
Parandalimi është çelësi për të minimizuar rrezikun e infeksionit. CDC rekomandon përdorimin e një formule të gatshme për ushqim për ata nën dy muajsh, të lindur para kohe ose që kanë një sistem imunitar të dobësuar.
Si të shmangni bakteret
Mund të ndërmerren hapa shtesë në shtëpi për të parandaluar infeksionin, duke përfshirë ujin e valuar në të paktën 158°F, duke e lejuar atë të ftohet dhe më pas duke e përdorur atë për t'u përzier me formulën pluhur.
"Për shkak të pranisë së gjerë të C.sakazakii në mjedis, kujdestarët e foshnjave duhet të ndjekin praktikat e sigurta të higjienës, përgatitjes dhe ruajtjes dhe të mësojnë hapa për të mbrojtur foshnjat nga infeksioni."
Morad u kujton prindërve se kjo baktere "mund të gjendet në pjesët e pompës së gjirit dhe shishet, kështu që është ende e rëndësishme që të pastrohen me kujdes edhe këto gjëra."
Larja e duarve me sapun dhe ujë para përgatitjes së shisheve, qumështit ose vakteve mund të ndihmojë gjithashtu në reduktimin e transmetimit. Ndërsa ka shumë produkte pastrimi në treg, përdorimi i dezinfektuesve të duarve me bazë alkooli me të paktën 60% alkool mund të përdoret gjithashtu si një alternativë.
While this bacterium can cause serious illness in babies, Morad says "parents should be careful with their formula preparation, but not too concerned as this infection is a rare occurrence." With thorough hand washing and cleaning techniques, parents can safely avoid this bacteria, especially when children are young babies or have weakened immune systems.
