Enterobacteriaceae, cronobacter(enterobacter) sakazakii and microbial population in infant formula products in the Malaysian market

This study was carried out to detect and identify the presence of Enterobacteriaceae, and Cronobacter sakazakii, and determine the microbial population of infant formula products obtained from hypermarkets and a private hospital in Malaysia. Sixteen infant formulas and 14 special infant formulas fro...
