Short-term genome evolution of Listeria monocytogenes in a non-controlled environment

Background: While increasing data on bacterial evolution in controlled environments are available, our understanding of bacterial genome evolution in natural environments is limited. We thus performed full genome analyses on four Listeria monocytogenes, including human and food isolates from both a...
