UNLABELLED: The data on the incidence of Cronobacter spp. was collated from hospital records for the seven-year period 2005-2011. The majority of Cronobacter spp. isolates (n = 91) were from throat swabs (61), followed by urine (5), tracheal aspirates (5), bronchoalveolar lavage (4), cannulae (4), and sputum (3) samples. This is the first study which profiles the carriage of Cronobacter spp. according to patient age, based on seven years of clinical data from 2005-2011. It reveals a high recovery (63.7% of strains, n = 91) of the organism from children, 1-14 years in age. KEYWORDS: Cronobacter spp. - meningitis - nosocomial infection.
