Abstract excerpt
Cronobacter species, especially C. sakazakii and C. malonaticus, are opportunistic pathogens that are linked to severe infections in infants with high case fatality rates. In this study, we investigated whole genome sequencing (WGS) analysis approaches, specifically 7-gene multi-locus sequence typing (7-gene MLST), core genome MLST (cgMLST), and whole genome MLST (wgMLST) to subtype Cronobacter isolates. We...
