Pathogen: Listeria monocytogenes EGD-e, a clinical isolate sequenced using PacBio technology and de novo assembled in combination with Illumina MiSeq reads
Listeria monocytogenes EGD-e
This strain is serovar 1/2a and is derived from the strain EGD that was used in studies of cell-mediated immunity and isolated from rabbit tissue. While the strain is already available as a RefSeq strain (NC_003210.1) in NCBI, assembled using a mixed strategy of de novo and reference-based assembly, its genome was re-sequenced and assembled purely with a de novo hybrid strategy, by combining PacBio and Illumina MiSeq reads, to obtain complete genome sequence for subsequent protegenomic studies.
