Large-scale genome analysis of Listeria monocytogenes from Austrian food producers reveals differences in accessory genome dynamics and phage integration in persistent genomes

Abstract Background As the causative agent of listeriosis, Listeria ( L .) monocytogenes is an important food safety hazard and public health concern. The ability of some L. monocytogenes strains to establish in food processing environments poses the threat of contamination to fo...
