Listeria monocytogenes FSL J1-208 genome sequencing
Strain involved in caprine listeriosis case L. monocytogenes FSL J1-208 belongs to intraspecific phylogenetic lineage IV, a phylogenetic lineage that is mainly associated with animal listeriosis cases. The genome sequence of this relatively rare lineage will enhance our understanding of genome evolution, the evolution of pathogenesis and mobile elements in L. monocytogenes.
