Sialic acid utilization by Cronobacter sakazakii [PDF]
, 2013 Background: The Cronobacter genus is composed of seven species, and can cause infections in all age groups. Of particular concern is C. sakazakii, as this species is strongly associated with severe and often fatal cases of necrotizing enterocolitis and ...

Occurrence of Cronobacter spp. in raw milk [PDF]
Journal für Verbraucherschutz und Lebensmittelsicherheit, 2010 Cronobacter (Enterobacter sakazakii) is an opportunistic pathogen which can cause rare but serious infections in neonates. Neonatal infections were shown to be associated with dried infant milk formulae. Publications concerning the contamination of such foods with Cronobacter are numerous but there are almost no data available concerning the situation ...

Lack of continuity between Cronobacter biotypes and species as determined using multilocus sequence typing [PDF]
, 2013 The accuracy of the Cronobacter biotyping scheme was compared with the 7-loci multilocus sequence typing scheme. Biotyping did not reliably assign species level identification, as only half (17/31) of the biotype variants were unique to any of the seven ...

Cronobacter spp. in Powdered Infant Formula
Journal of Food Protection, 2012 Cronobacter species are opportunistic pathogens, and a mortality rate of 40 to 80% is associated with infections. This pathogen can cause a range of serious diseases such as meningitis, septicemia, necrotizing enterocolitis, and brain abscesses and has been responsible for a variety of sequelae such as quadriplegia.
