Comprehensive Genomic Characterization of <i>Cronobacter sakazakii</i> Isolates from Infant Formula Processing Facilities Using Whole-Genome Sequencing

<i>Cronobacter sakazakii</i> is an opportunistic pathogen linked to outbreaks in powdered infant formula (PIF), primarily causing meningitis and necrotizing enterocolitis. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) was used to characterize 18 <i>C. sakazakii</i> strains isolated from PIF...
