Abstract

Biochemical Research Methods Biochemistry & Molecular Biology Biotechnology & Applied Microbiology Cell Biology Life Sciences & Biomedicine Science & Technology
The accuracy of the Cronobacter biotyping scheme was compared with the 7-loci multilocus sequence typing scheme. Biotyping did not reliably assign species level identification, as only half (17/31) of the biotype variants were unique to any of the seven Cronobacter species and the remaining biotypes were shared across the genus.
