Abstract:
Here, we report the RNA polymerase beta-subunit gene (rpoB) as a new molecular marker for the identification of the Cronobacter species. The results indicated that members of the Cronobacter genus are more easily discriminated by rpoB sequencing than 16S rRNA sequencing, and reliable identification could be achieved by rpoB gene sequence comparison.
