Complete genome sequences and genomic characterization of five plasmids harbored by environmentally persistent Cronobacter sakazakii strains ST83 H322 and ST64 GK1025B obtained from powdered infant formula manufacturing facilities.

"the prokaryotic genome annotation pipeline (pgap) annotations [ ] of these completed genomes plasmid sequences and their accession numbers were released under fda genometrakr bioproject on ncbi (prjna258403) which is part of fda's foodborne pathogen research comprehensive bioproject at ncbi (prjna186875).; in addition to the closed plasmids generated from long-read sequencing phaster analysis showed that c sakazakii strain h322 hosted four intact prophage sequences (additional file 2 : table s2) that were located on the chromosome which included a 47 4 kbp salmonella sen34 (ncbi accession #: nc_028699) a 37 4 kbp enterobacteria mep235 (nc_019708) a 43 5 kbp salmonella 118970_sal3 (nc_031940) and a 17 7 kbp enterobacteria p1 (nc_005856) prophage."
