Abstract:

Cronobacter sakazakii is a xerotolerant neonatal pathogen epidemiologically linked to powdered infant food formula, often resulting in high mortality rates. Here, we used transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) to provide transcriptional insights into the survival of C. sakazakii in desiccated conditions. Our RNA-seq data show that about 22% of the total C. sakazakii genes were significantly upregulated and 9% were downregulated during desiccation survival. When reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to validate the R…
