Abstract: Powdered formula is rich in nutrients and easily contaminated by microorganisms. Cronobacter sakazakii is one of the major pathogens contaminating powdered formula. The present article reviews recent progress in growth and inactivation modeling of C. sakazakii worldwide. Modelling the growth of C. sakazakii can provide useful information for monitoring this pathogen and modelling its inactivation can reflects the efficacies of traditional and novel microbial control technologies as well as historical stress in killing it. Finally, existing problems in predictive modeling of C. sakazakii are discussed, and future research directions are outlined. We hope that this review will provide useful information for future research.

Key words: Cronobacter sakazakii, powdered formula, microbial growth model, microbial inactivation model
