Given the remarkable ability of this bacterium to persist in food processing facilities, ready-to-eat food products are common vehicles of L. monocytogenes. In the present study, we report the use of whole-genome sequencing (WGS) to investigate the diversity among L. monocytogenes isolates associated with a hospital outbreak of listeriosis occurred in Portugal.engListeria monocytogenesOutbreak in PortugalMicroevolutionDiscrimination PowerPersistencePortugalInfecções Gastrointestinaisconference object
