Genome sequences of five disinfectant-resistant Listeria monocytogenes strains from two Iberian pork-processing plants

Abstract

We announce the draft genome sequences of five Listeria monocytogenes strains from two Iberian pork-processing plants located in Spain that were distinguished by their resistance to benzalkonium chloride. These strains seem highly adapted to the meatprocessing environment according to their persistence and transmission capabilities.
