Standard media were designed simulating the gastro-intestinal contents of infants during the first year of life. These media were used in the in vitro tests to study the viability of a number of potentially-pathogenic microorganisms. It was shown that S. aureus, E. coli O-III, S. liquefaciens not only survived but also multiplied in the media with pH values similar to those of gastric juice in infants of the first year of life, in the presence of the mixture for child nutrition "Malysh". The results obtained necessitate strict requirements for the absence of potentially-pathogenic microorganisms in definite volumes of dry milk mixtures and their components intended for child nutrition.
