Clonal Clustering Using 10-Gene Multilocus Sequence Typing Reveals an Association Between Genotype and Listeria monocytogenes Maximum Growth Rate in Defined Medium.

Abstract excerpt

We used a 10-gene (10G) multilocus sequence typing scheme to investigate the diversity and phylogenetic distribution of 124 Listeria monocytogenes strains across major lineages, major serotypes, and seven epidemic clones that have been previously associated with outbreaks. The 124 isolates proved to be diverse, with a total of 81 sequence types (10G-STs) belonging to 13 clonal complexes (CCs), where all STs of...
