description <i>Listeria monocytogenes</i> is an important pathogen that has been implicated in foodborne illness. The aim of the present study was to investigate the diversity of virulence factors associated with the mechanisms of pathogenicity, persistence, and formation of biofilm <i>L. monocytogenes</i> by tandem analysis of whole-genome sequencing. The lineages that presented <i>L. monocytogenes</i> (LmAV-2, LmAV-3, and LmAV-6) from Hass avocados were lineages I and II. Listeria pathogenicity island 1 (LIPI-1) and LIPI-2 were found in the isolates, while LIPI-3 and <i>Listeria</i> genomic island (LGI-2) only was in IIb. Stress survival island (SSI-1) was identified in lineage I and II. In the in silico analysis, resistance genes belonging to several groups of antibiotics were detected, but the <i>bcrABC</i> and transposon Tn6188 related to resistance to quaternary ammonium salts (QACs) were not detected in <i>L. monocytogenes.</i> Subsequently, the anti-<i>L. monocytogenes</i> planktonic cell effect showed for QACs (MIC = 6.25 ppm/MBC = 100 ppm), lactic acid (MBC = 1 mg/mL), citric acid (MBC = 0.5 mg/mL) and gallic acid (MBC = 2 mg/mL). The anti-biofilm effect with organic acids (22 °C) caused a reduction of 4–5 log<sub>10</sub> cfu/cm<sup>2</sup> after 10 min against control biofilm <i>L. monocytogenes</i> formed on PP than SS. This study is an important contribution to understanding the genomic diversity and epidemiology of <i>L. monocytogenes</i> to establish a control measure to reduce the impact on the environment and the consumer.
