Abstract

A re-evaluation of the taxonomic position of five strains, one assigned to Cronobacter sakazakii (strain 1330T), two previously assigned to Cronobacter genomospecies 1 (strains NCTC 9529T and 731) and two as Cronobacter turicensis (strains 96 and 1435) was carried out. The analysis included a phenotypic characterization, sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene and multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) of seven housekeeping genes (atpD, fusA, glnS, gltB, gyrB, infB, ppsA; 3036 bp). The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and MLSA showed strain 1330T, isolated from spiced meat purchased in Slovakia, to form an independent phylogenetic line. Cronobacter dublinensis was the closest neighbour species on the basis of the MLSA. DNA–DNA reassociation and phenotypic analysis revealed that strain 1330T represented a novel species, for which the name Cronobacter condimenti sp. nov. is proposed, type strain 1330T = CECT 7863T, = LMG 26250T). The four bacterial strains NCTC 9529T, 731, 96 and 1435, isolated from water, a leg infectionand two food ingredients; onion powder and rye flour, repectively, showed on the phylogenetic tree to cluster together within an independent phylogenetic line, with Cronobacter turicensis as the closest species. The DNA–DNA hybridization data and the phenotypic characterization confirmed that these strains represented a novel species, for which the name Cronobacter universalis sp. nov. is proposed with type strain NCTC 9529T = CECT 7864T, = LMG 26249T.
