Abstract

Listeria monocytogenes is a pathogenic bacterium of importance to public health and food safety agencies. We present the genome sequence of the serotype 1/2a L. monocytogenes food isolate HPB913, which was collected in Canada in 1993 as part of an investigation into a sporadic case of foodborne illness.

Summary

Introduction

Listeria monocytogenes is a pathogenic bacterium of importance to public health and food safety agencies. We present the genome sequence of the serotype 1/2a L. monocytogenes food isolate HPB913, which was collected in Canada in 1993 as part of an investigation into a sporadic case of foodborne illness. Listeria monocytogenes is a Gram-positive, pathogenic bacterium that is important to public health and food safety [1]. L. monocytogenes can cause listeriosis when individuals with compromised immunities consume contaminated food [2, 3].
