TL;DR: The deletion of grxB decreased resistance to acid stresses, and notably led to weaker surface hydrophobicity, AAg, and biofilm formation under normal and acid stress conditions, compared with those of the wild type strain; however, motility was unaffected.

TL;DR: This large-scale study revealed the relatively high prevalence and high genetic diversity of Cronobacter spp.

TL;DR: The high contamination rate and the detection of pathogenic and new STs in raw vegetables indicated potential hazards to customers and the first report to provide valuable information on the contamination status of Cronobacter spp.

TL;DR: A case of meningitis in a neonate in China, which was caused by a novel multidrug-resistant Cronobacter sakazakii strain, sequence type 256, capsular profile K1:CA1, is reported.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the presence of one CRISPR-Cas system is important for a Cronobacter species to maintain genome homeostasis for survival, whereas two types of systems may be redundant and not conducive to acquiring beneficial DNA for environmental adaptation and pathogenicity.
