Listeria monocytogenes associated with New Zealand seafood production and clinical cases: unique sequence types, truncated InlA, and attenuated invasiveness.

Abstract excerpt

Listeriosis is caused by the food-borne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes, which can be found in seafood and processing plants. To evaluate the risk to human health associated with seafood production in New Zealand, multi-virulence-locus sequence typing (MVLST) was used to define the sequence types (STs) of 31 L. monocytogenes isolates collected from seafood-processing plants, 15 from processed foods, and 6 from...
