Whole-Genome Sequencing Identifies an Atypical Listeria monocytogenes Strain Isolated from Pet Foods
نویسندگان
چکیده
Four Listeria isolates, including an atypical strain, were isolated from various pet foods and sequenced. We report here the draft genome sequences of these isolates and a comparative genomic analysis with a closely related human clinical isolate. An analysis of the atypical strain identified a frameshift mutation in the prfA gene.

Comparative genomics analyses revealed two virulent Listeria monocytogenes strains isolated from ready-to-eat food
BACKGROUND Listeria monocytogenes is an important foodborne pathogen that causes considerable morbidity in humans with high mortality rates. In this study, we have sequenced the genomes and performed comparative genomics analyses on two strains, LM115 and LM41, isolated from ready-to-eat food in Malaysia. RESULTS The genome size of LM115 and LM41 was 2,959,041 and 2,963,111 bp, respectively. ...
متن کاملGenome Sequence of Listeria monocytogenes Strain F4244, a 4b Serotype
Listeria monocytogenes is an opportunistic invasive foodborne pathogen. Here, we performed whole-genome sequencing of L. monocytogenes strain F4244 (serotype 4b) using Illumina sequencing. The sequence showed 94.5% identity with strain F2365, serotype 4b, and 90.6% with EGD-e, serotype 1/2a.

Listeria monocytogenes is one of the most important foodborne pathogens. In this report, we present the complete and annotated genome of L. monocytogenes sequence type 06 (ST06) serovar 4b strain IZSAM_Lm_hs2008, isolated from an adult immunocompetent patient who developed the disease and died.
متن کاملGenome Sequence of Listeria monocytogenes Strain HPB2088 (Serotype 1/2a), an Environmental Isolate Collected in Canada in 1994
Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne pathogen that causes severe illness. Thus, ongoing efforts at real-time whole-genome sequencing are of utmost importance. However, it is also important that retrospective analyses that place these data into context be performed. Here, we present the genome sequence of strain HPB2088, which was collected in 1994.
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequences of Three Listeria monocytogenes Isolates from Foods in China
Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne pathogen of global concern because of the high mortality rate among patients. The draft genome sequences of three L. monocytogenes strains isolated from foods are reported here. The availability of these genomes should provide useful information on the genomic diversity of L. monocytogenes isolated from foods in China.
