Neonates and infants are most at risk from infection and powdered infant formula (PIF) has been implicated as the source of infection in the majority of outbreaks. The sources of contamination, ecology and virulence characteristics of this genus are, as yet, poorly understood. There is a need to identify traits related to its pathogenesis and persistence in suspected food sources, especially PIF. An impressive 15% of the world’s PIF is made in Ireland and an outbreak of Cronobacter would have serious detrimental consequences to the economy. This study aims to develop a novel food grade antimicrobial effective in interfering with the pathogenesis of Cronobacter spp. The development of such an agent, and its possible inclusion in PIF is a conceptually encouraging solution to the potentially devastating effects of a Cronobacter outbreak in Ireland. 2013-12-24T13:32:57Z 2013-12-24T13:32:57Z 2012-06-18 Other p. 1280 978-967-5760-11-2 http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/30835 en The 2nd International Malaysia-Ireland Joint Symposium on Engineering, Science and Business 2012 (IMiEJS2012); Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)
