Article Synopsis
- Enteral nutritional supplements are nutrient-rich products used in medical settings that require careful management to prevent infections, especially when contaminated with microorganisms.
- A study evaluated nine types of enteral nutrition using different test bacteria to see how they promote or inhibit microbial growth over a 24-hour period.
- Findings revealed that while bacteria like E. coli and S. marcescens grew in specific products, all types of enteral nutrition allowed for the growth of Candida albicans, suggesting varying effects of pH but highlighting the need for strict infection control measures to address potential contamination.
