Tesing and Treatment of Cronobacter Infections
Cronobacter can be found by testing blood or other samples in the lab.
Babies whose blood might have Cronobacter need to go to a doctor or hospital right away so they can get germ-fighting medicine called antibiotics. Babies who have meningitis from Cronobacter usually need special tests to look at the brain.
Adults are treated with antibiotics, too.
