Journal ArticleDOI
Cronobacter gen. nov., a new genus to accommodate the biogroups of Enterobacter sakazakii, and proposal of Cronobacter sakazakii gen. nov., comb. nov., Cronobacter malonaticus sp. nov., Cronobacter turicensis sp. nov., Cronobacter muytjensii sp. nov., Cronobacter dublinensis sp. nov., Cronobacter genomospecies 1, and of three subspecies, Cronobacter dublinensis subsp. dublinensis subsp. nov., Cronobacter dublinensis subsp. lausannensis subsp. nov. and Cronobacter dublinensis subsp. lactaridi subsp. nov.

TL;DR: This study further clarifies the taxonomy of isolates described as [E.] sakazakii and completes the formal description of the proposed reclassification of these organisms as novel species and subspecies within a proposed novel genus, Cronobacter gen. nov.
Journal ArticleDOI
Low-water activity foods: increased concern as vehicles of foodborne pathogens
Larry R. Beuchat,Evangelia Komitopoulou,Harry Beckers,Roy P. Betts,F Bourdichon,Séamus Fanning,Han Joosten,Benno H. ter Kuile +7 more
TL;DR: Observations on survival and persistence of foodborne pathogens in low-a(w) foods, selected outbreaks of illnesses associated with consumption of these foods, and approaches to minimize safety risks are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
The taxonomy of Enterobacter sakazakii: proposal of a new genus Cronobacter gen. nov. and descriptions of Cronobacter sakazakii comb. nov. Cronobacter sakazakii subsp. sakazakii, comb. nov., Cronobacter sakazakii subsp. malonaticus subsp. nov., Cronobacter turicensis sp. nov., Cronobacter muytjensii sp. nov., Cronobacter dublinensis sp. nov. and Cronobacter genomospecies 1
Carol Iversen,Carol Iversen,Angelika Lehner,Niall Mullane,Eva Bidlas,Ilse Cleenwerck,John Marugg,Séamus Fanning,Roger Stephan,Han Joosten +9 more
TL;DR: The taxonomic relationship of E. sakazakii was further investigated in this article, where the species was defined in 1980, 15 biogroups were described and it was suggested that these could represent multiple species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cronobacter (Enterobacter sakazakii): An Opportunistic Foodborne Pathogen
B. Healy,Shane Cooney,Stephen J. O'Brien,Carol Iversen,Paul Whyte,Jarlath E. Nally,John J. Callanan,Séamus Fanning +7 more
TL;DR: A holistic approach combining techniques such as comparative genome analysis, proteomics, and in vivo challenges could help unravel the complex interactions between this pathogen and its host.
Journal ArticleDOI
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolated from animals and veterinary personnel in Ireland.
Rebecca O'Mahony,Y. Abbott,Finola C. Leonard,Bryan Markey,Peter J. Quinn,P. J. Pollock,Séamus Fanning,A. S. Rossney +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that transmission of two strains of MRSA is occurring in veterinary practices in Ireland and that one strain may have arisen from human hospitals and the source of the second strain remains to be determined.
