Virulence potential and host response to Cronobacter sakazakii
Cronobacter sakazakii is in the Cronobacter genus (previously known as Enterobacter sakazakii), which consists in total of seven species. C. sakazakii strains in the clonal complex 4 (CC4), including sequence type 4 (ST4), have been strongly associated with neonatal meningitis. In recent years, …

Physiological characterisation of the neonatal meningitic bacterium Cronobacter sakazakii
The Cronobacter genus is a member of the Enterobacteriaceae family that comprises 7 species. A multiple locus sequence typing (MLST) scheme was designed for Cronobacter and was used to identify over 400 sequence types (STs). Notably, C. sakazakii ST4 and its single/double loci variants, which …

Identification of the virulence determinants of the neonatal meningitic bacterium Cronobacter sakazakii
The Cronobacter genus is a member of the family Enterobacteriaceae, comprising of seven species C. sakazakii, C. malonaticus, C. turicensis, C. dublinensis, C. muytjensii, C. universalis, and C. condimenti. Cronobacter is gaining importance as a pathogen due to the severity of the infection caused …

Shining light on food microbiology; applications of luciferase-tagged microorganisms in the food industry
… The first aim was to monitor a lux-tagged Cronobacter sakazakii in reconstituted infant milk formula, in realtime. The second aim was to investigate a bioluminescent-based early warning system for starter culture disruption by bacteriophages and antibiotic residues. The third of this thesis …

Investigation of growth and stress tolerance characteristics of Cronobacter spp.
Cronobacter spp. are opportunistic pathogens which can be isolated from a wide variety of foods and environments. They are Gram negative, motile, non-spore forming, peritrichous rods of the Enterobacteriaceae family. This food-borne pathogen is associated with the ingestion of contaminated infant …

Optimizing sample plans to improve microbiological safety in a food processing plant
Salmonella and Cronobacter sakazakii are two leading causes of foodborne illness associated with low-moisture foods, including infant formula. Both causative organisms can persist in food manufacturing processing environments and contaminate finished product if programs are not in place to limit …

Genomic profiling of the neonatal meningitic Cronobacter sakazakll clonal complex 4
The Cronobacter sakazakii clonal complex 4 (CC4) represents a dominant lineage of the genus Cronobacter in Cronobacter PubMLST. A strong association of C. sakazakii CC4 with neonatal infections especially neonatal meningitis has been established. The composition of C. sakazakii CC4 isolates in …

Colonization dynamics of oro-gastrointestinal microbes critical to infant health
… of autoaggregation in the neonatal pathogen, Cronobacter sakazakii ATCC 29544 (wild-type) is described. Upon isolation of two independent nonautoaggregating clonal variants, two unique single nucleotide polymorphisms in the flagella proteins, FlhA and FliG, were identified. Furthermore, it was …
