  1. Role of sigma factor RpoS in Cronobacter sakazakii environmental stress tolerance

    • Bioengineered

    • Cronobacter sakazakii is a food-borne, conditionally pathogenic bacterium that mainly infects neonates, especially premature infants. Previous studies have indicated that an important route of infection for C. sakazakii is through infant formula, suggesting a high stress resistance of the bacterium. RpoS is a σ-factor that is closely related to the bacterial resistance mechanisms. In this study, a C. sakazakii BAA894 model strain was used.
