title: Genome Sequence of Listeria monocytogenes Strain HPB5415, Collected during a 2008 Listeriosis Outbreak in Canada.
abstract: Listeria monocytogenes strain HPB5415-isolated from deli meat-was found in 2008 to have the same pulsed-field gel electrophoresis patterns as a clinical strain (08-5923). However, whether nucleotide differences (single nucleotide polymorphisms [SNPs]) exist between their genomes was not determined. We sequenced the L. monocytogenes strain HPB5415 genome and identified 52 SNPs relative to strain 08-5923.
