Cronobacter sakazakii, which before 2007 was named Enterobacter sakazakii, [2] [3] is an opportunistic Gram-negative, rod-shaped, pathogenic bacterium that can live in very dry places, a phenomenon known as xerotolerance. C. sakazakii utilizes a number of genes to survive desiccation [4] and this xerotolerance may be strain specific. [5]
Cronobacter is a genus of Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, oxidase-negative, catalase-positive, rod-shaped bacteria of the family Enterobacteriaceae. Several Cronobacter species are desiccation resistant and persistent in dry products such as powdered infant formula. [ 3 ]

The bacterium which sickened the infants, Cronobacter sakazakii, was found at the Sturgis plant. [24] The CDC performed whole genome sequencing on Cronobacter bacteria from two patient samples, and found that the samples were not closely related to strains collected in the Sturgis plant, or to each other.
