Abstract
⺠Cronobacter sakazakii is associated with mortality rates of 40-80% in human neonates. ⺠Twenty-three Cronobacter isolates from humans, animals, and the environment were studied. ⺠Cronobacter isolates exhibit a large variation in cultured human cell invasion ability. ⺠Cronobacter isolates invaded and trancytosed across human epithelial and endothelial cells. ⺠These findings suggest a pathogenic pathway for Cronobacter-induced meningitis in neonates.
