Clonal Lineage, Not Functional Linkage, Shapes Antimicrobial Resistance Gene, Plasmid Replicon, and Virulence Gene Co-Occurrences in Clinical Cronobacter sakazakii from the United States
Cronobacter sakazakii is a rare, life-threatening neonatal pathogen. In this study, we profiled antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs), plasmid replicons, virulence genes, sequence types (STs), and core-genome phylogeny across all publicly available clinical C. sakazakii genomes from the United States (n = 116). All iso...
