TL;DR: It is suggested that by stepwise gain and loss of chromosomal and plasmid-encoded virulence factors, a highly pathogenic hybrid of EAEC and EHEC emerged as the current outbreak clone.

TL;DR: C. sakazakii is unique in the Cronobacter genus in encoding genes enabling the utilization of exogenous sialic acid which may have clinical significance, and also suggested various degrees of divergence.

TL;DR: In this article, genomic sequences for nine strains of Cronobacter spp. (C. sakazakii - 696, 701, 680; C. malonaticus - 507, 681, C. turicensis - 564;C. muytjensii - 530; C., dublinensis- 582; and C. genomospl - 581) are described.

TL;DR: In this paper, compositions, methods and kits for the specific detection of enterohemorrahagic E. coli O104:H4 from contaminated samples including clinical samples, biological samples, food samples, complex food matrices, water, beverage samples, fermentation broth samples, forensic samples, environmental samples (e.g., soil, dirt, garbage, sewage, air, or water) as well as food processing and manufacturing surfaces.

TL;DR: In this article, compositions, assays, methods, diagnostic methods, kits and diagnostic kits for the specific and differential detection of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis from samples including veterinary samples, clinical samples, food samples, forensic sample, an environmental sample (e.g., soil, dirt, garbage, sewage, air, or water), including food processing and manufacturing surfaces, or a biological sample.
