Genomic sequences represent prevalent sub-lineages of Listeria monocytogenes in Germany, indicating potential outbreak analysis tools.
We here present 27 closed genome sequences of clinical Listeria monocytogenes isolates representing 26 prevalent phylogenetic sub-lineages detected in Germany within recent years. This information may facilitate analysis of ongoing and future outbreaks and provides the basis for in-depth studies of outbreak strains and their genetic characteristics.
