Is there a risk for Enterobacter sakazakii when breast-feeding ?

In the current state of knowledge, no exclusively breastfed infants have been reported to have Enterobacter sakazakii infections. Based on the available information, in 50-80 % of cases, powdered infant formula is both the vehicle and the source (direct or indirect) of E. sakazakii induced illness.
