Abstract excerpt
Bacteria belonging to the genus Cronobacter have been recognized as causative agents of life-threatening systemic infections primarily in premature, low-birth weight and immune-compromised neonates.

Whole genome comparisons and in silico analysis have proven to be powerful tools...
