Cronobacter turicensis

Cronobacter turicensis is a bacterium.[1] It is usually food-borne and pathogenic.[2] It is named after Turicum, the Latin name of Zurich, as the type strain originates from there. Its type strain is strain 3032 (=LMG 23827T =DSMZ 18703T). This strain was first isolated from a fatal case of neonatal meningitis. C. Turicensis strains are indole negative but malonate, dulcitol and methyl-α-D-glucopyranoside positive.
