Draft Genome Sequence of Cronobacter sakazakii Clonal Complex 45 Strain HPB5174, Isolated from a Powdered Infant Formula Facility in Ireland.

Cronobacter sakazakii is a food-borne pathogenic bacterium that may cause severe illness in neonates and the elderly. We present the genome sequence of a rare strain (ST40, CC45), commonly found in multiple food processing facilities and in powdered infant formula and only indicted in a single clinical case.
