Description

Listeria monocytogenes is an important foodborne pathogen. Infection of humans with this bacterium through contaminated food leads to listeriosis. Growth of this bacterium on cold preserved food products is an important public health and food safety challenge. Lm60 is a L. monocytogenes strain recovered from a sporadic case of human listeriosis that shows enhanced cold stress tolerance. Our objective is to determine the genome of this strain and compared it to other L. monocytogenes in order to identify genetic elements that may be associated with enhanced cold growth phenotypes in this bacterium.
