Whole-Genome Sequencing Reveals Multiple Subpopulations of Dominant and Persistent Lineage I Isolates of <i>Listeria monocytogenes</i> in Two Meat Processing Facilities during 2011–2015

Whole-Genome Sequencing Reveals Multiple Subpopulations of Dominant and Persistent Lineage I Isolates of <i>Listeria monocytogenes</i> in Two Meat Processing Facilities during 2011–2015

<i>Listeria monocytogenes</i> is a foodborne pathogen with a highly clonal population structure comprising multiple phylogenetic sub-groups that can persist within food processing environments and contaminate food. The epidemiology of <i>L. monocytogenes</i> is well-described...
