Multilocus sequence typing of Cronobacter spp. from powdered infant formula and milk powder production factories [PDF]
This study applied the Cronobacter spp. multilocus sequence typing (MLST) scheme to three strain collections, then known as Enterobacter sakazakii, which had been isolated between 1988 and 2009 from 14 countries. The results revealed the predominance (85%
