Fatal Necrotizing Enterocolitis in Neonate Caused by Cronobacter sakazakii Sequence Type 64 Strain of CRISPR Sublineage b
We report fatal neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis in China caused by Cronobacter sakazakii capsular profile K1:CA1, sequence type 64, and CRISPR type 197. Phylodynamic analyses indicated that the strain originated from the ancient, widespread, and antimicrobial drug–sensitive CRISPR sublineage b....

| Summary: | We report fatal neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis in China caused by Cronobacter sakazakii capsular profile K1:CA1, sequence type 64, and CRISPR type 197. Phylodynamic analyses indicated that the strain originated from the ancient, widespread, and antimicrobial drug–sensitive CRISPR sublineage b. Enhanced surveillance and pathogenesis research on this organism are required.
