Whole-genome shotgun sequencing of three Listeria monocytogenes strains isolated from a ready-to-eat salad-producing facility in Switzerland

Abstract

Ready-to-eat (RTE) raw foods harbor the risk of transmitting Listeria monocytogenes from the environment to the consumer. We isolated three strains from a facility producing RTE salad. These strains were used to perform challenge tests on different RTE salad products. Here, we present the shotgun genome sequences of all three of these strains.
