Notes:
-
According to DNA-DNA hybridization data and phenotypic characterization, Joseph et al. 2012 [2] propose a new species, Cronobacter universalis, for strains NCTC 9529 and 731 (previously known as Cronobacter genomospecies 1), and for strains 96 and 1435 (previously known as Cronobacter turicensis).

Strain NCTC 9529 (the type strain of Cronobacter universalis) was previously referred to as Enterobacter sakazakii biogroup 16c as defined by Iversen et al. 2007 [1]. Strain NCTC 9529 was deemed a separate Cronobacter species, however insufficient strains and biochemical tests were available to define the species and consequently it was called Cronobacter genomospecies 1 [1].
