Abstract
ABSTRACTListeria monocytogenes is a food-associated bacterium that is responsible for food-related illnesses worldwide. This is the initial public release of 306 L. monocytogenes genome sequences as part of the 100K Pathogen Genome Project. These isolates represent global genomic diversity in L. monocytogenes.
Highlights
Listeria monocytogenes is a food-associated bacterium that is responsible for food-related illnesses worldwide
Recent years have seen a spike in multistate outbreaks of listeriosis due to food contamination, including in deli meats, dairy, hummus, cantaloupe, and stone fruit, leading to recalls of contaminated products and resulting in millions of dollars in lost revenue [3]. Genomic comparison of these outbreak strains with environmental isolates via whole-genome sequencing will shed light on the genetic factors that potentiate L. monocytogenes virulence
The 100K Pathogen Genome Project is large-scale sequencing effort focused on producing genomes from various sources worldwide that represent isolates from the environment, plants, animals, and humans
