Multilocus sequence typing of Listeria monocytogenes by use of hypervariable genes reveals clonal and recombination histories of three lineages.

Abstract excerpt

In an attempt to develop a method to discriminate among isolates of Listeria monocytogenes, the sequences of all of the annotated genes from the fully sequenced strain L. monocytogenes EGD-e (serotype 1/2a) were compared by BLASTn to a file of the unfinished genomic sequence of L. monocytogenes ATCC 19115 (serotype 4b). Approximately 7% of the matching genes demonstrated 90% or lower identity between the two...
