DIAZ-ORTIZ, Natalia; MARTINEZ-SUAREZ, Venancio; ORTIZ-JARENO, Sagrario  e  MARTINEZ-SUAREZ, Joaquín V. The pathogenicity of Cronobacter in the light of bacterial genomics. Nutr. Hosp. [online]. 2023, vol.40, n.3, pp.650-656.  Epub 23-Out-2023. ISSN 1699-5198.  https://dx.doi.org/10.20960/nh.04441.

Cronobacter spp. is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria belonging to the family Enterobacteriaceae. Species of the genus Cronobacter, particularly C. sakazakii, are implicated in the development of severe disease in newborns, which occurs with necrotizing enterocolitis, sepsis and meningitis. The disease has been frequently associated with powdered infant formula (PIF) and can therefore occur in the form of outbreaks. The genus Cronobacter has undergone extensive diversification in the course of its evolution, with some species being clearly pathogenic to humans while the impact of other species on human health is uncertain or unknown. Whole genome sequencing is used both in population genetic studies to identify the limited number of genotypes associated with the disease and to detect genes associated with antibiotic resistance or virulence, ultimately allowing more precise epidemiological links to be established between pediatric disease and infant foods.
