title: Genome sequence of Listeria monocytogenes Scott A, a clinical isolate from a food-borne listeriosis outbreak.
abstract: Listeria monocytogenes is an opportunistic food-borne pathogen and the causative agent of listeriosis in animals and humans. We present the genome sequence of Listeria monocytogenes Scott A, a widely distributed and frequently used serovar 4b clinical isolate from the 1983 listeriosis outbreak in Massachusetts.
