Prevalence and Genetic Diversity of Cronobacter Species Isolated From Four Infant Formula Production Factories in China

Prevalence and Genetic Diversity of Cronobacter Species Isolated From Four Infant Formula Production Factories in China

The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and genotypic characteristics of Cronobacter isolated from powdered infant formula (PIF) manufacturing facilities and to identify a potential source of contamination. A total of 42 Cronobacter isolates (5%) were detected in 835 environmental sa...
