Abstract excerpt
Clostridium butyricum exhibits a dual role, acting not only as a probiotic but also as an opportunistic pathogen associated with neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and infant botulism. We aimed to establish high-resolution genotyping frameworks to improve molecular surveillance and outbreak investigations. We analyzed 297 C. butyricum genomes, including 200 isolates from preterm neonates across 13 French...
