Cronobacter sakazakii is a typical example of a xerotolerant bacterium. It is epidemiologically linked to low-moisture foods like powdered infant formula (PIF) and is associated with high fatality rates among neonates. We characterized the xerotolerance in a clinically isolated strain, Cronobacter sakazakii ATCC™29544T, and compared the desiccation tolerance with that of an environmental strain, C. sakazakii...
