Whole-Genome Sequences of 12 Clinical Strains of Listeria monocytogenes

摘要

Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne pathogen of global concern due to the high mortality rate among immunocompromised patients. Whole-genome sequences of 12 strains of L.?monocytogenes from humans were reported. The availability of these genomes should provide useful information on the evolutionary history and genetic diversity of L.?monocytogenes.
