Genomic Analysis of Cronobacter condimenti s37: Identification of Resistance and Virulence Genes and Comparison with Other Cronobacter and Closely Related Species.

ABSTRACT: Cronobacter condimenti are environmental commensals that have not been associated with any clinical infections. To date, they are the least understood and described Cronobacter species within the genus. The objective of this study was to use a draft genome sequence (DGS) of the Cronobacter condimenti strain s37 to screen for genes encoding for antibiotic resistance, virulence, response to environmental stress, and biofilm formation. The strain was isolated in Poland from commercial small radish sprouts. This is the second genome of this species available in the GenBank database. The comparative genome analysis (cgMLST) of C. condimenti s37 with other Cronobacter spp. including the pathogenic species C. sakazakii and the plant-associated closely rel
