The Enterobacter sakazakii is considered an emerging pathogen and has been recently connected to neonatal cases of necrotizing enterocolitis and meningitis due to use of contaminated powdered infant formula. However its presence is not limited to powdered infant formula; it can also be found in a broad range of foods and in water, in a variety of areas, including hospitals and houses. Due to the gravity of the infections attributed to E. sakazakii, it is necessary to introduce rigorous control measures to reduce the risks of contamination at various levels: industrial, to prevent from production to marketing the contamination of products; at a domestic level by reducing the risk of contamination, during preparation, handling, and storage, of reconstituted products; and legislative by establishing guidelines and recommendations issued by competent authorities, to guarantee the safety of infant food.

Introduction: is a notorious foodborne pathogen, frequently contaminating powdered infant formula and causing life-threatening diseases in infants. The escalating emergence of antibiotics-resistant mutants has led to increased interest in using bacteriophage as an alternative antimicrobial agent.
Methods: Two phages, CR8 and S13, were isolated from feces and soil samples and their morphology, physiology, and genomics were characterized.

is a dangerous pathogen easily found in powdered infant formula (PIF), causing severe infections and even death in infants. Herein, a bacteriophage-immobilized magnetic nanozyme (FeO@EspYZU13) was prepared for detection. Bacteriophage EspYZU13 isolated and identified by our group exhibits specific lytic capacity.
