    Appl Environ Microbiol 77:4017-26. 2011
    ..PCR assays were developed, targeting the wzx O-antigen polymerase gene, and used to screen 231 Cronobacter strains to determine the frequency of these newly identified serotypes...
  2. ncbi Identification and characterization of Cronobacter iron acquisition systems
    C J Grim
    CFSAN, FDA, Laurel, Maryland, USA
    Appl Environ Microbiol 78:6035-50. 2012
    ..Taken together, these results support the proposition that C. sakazakii and C. malonaticus may be more associated with the human host and C. dublinensis and C. muytjensii with plants...

    A A Franco
    Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, U S Food and Drug Administration, Laurel, MD, USA
    Appl Environ Microbiol 77:3255-67. 2011
    ..These results support the hypothesis that these plasmids have evolved from a single archetypical plasmid backbone through the cointegration, or deletion, of specific virulence traits in each species...
  4. ncbi Multiplex PCR assay targeting a diguanylate cyclase-encoding gene, cgcA, to differentiate species within the genus Cronobacter
    L Carter
    CFSAN, FDA, Laurel, Maryland, USA
    Appl Environ Microbiol 79:734-7. 2013
    ..This assay will be a valuable tool for identifying suspected Cronobacter isolates from food-borne investigations...

    A A Franco
    Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, U S Food and Drug Administration, Laurel, Maryland, USA
    Infect Immun 79:1578-87. 2011
    ..These results strongly suggest that Cpa may be an important virulence factor involved in serum resistance, as well as in the spread and invasion of C. sakazakii...
