Genetic Characterization of a Listeria monocytogenes Serotype IVb Variant 1 Strain Isolated from Vegetal Matrix in Italy

Abstract

We report the chromosome and plasmid sequences of a strain of Listeria monocytogenes IVb variant 1, a recently emerging serotype, isolated in Italy from ready-to-eat vegetables.
