<i>Listeria</i> spp. Isolated from Tonsils of Wild Deer and Boars: Genomic Characterization

Abstract

Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne bacterial pathogen responsible for listeriosis. Whole-genome sequencing has been extensively used in public health and food industries to characterize circulating Listeria isolates, but genomic data on isolates occurring in natural environments and wild animals are still scarce.
