Abstract excerpt
Listeria monocytogenes causes the severe foodborne disease listeriosis. Several clonal groups of L. monocytogenes possess the pathogenicity islands Listeria pathogenicity island 3 (LIPI-3) and LIPI-4. Here, we investigated the prevalence and genetic diversity of LIPI-3 and LIPI-4 among 63 strains of seven nonpathogenic Listeria spp. from the natural environment, i.e., wildlife (black bears [Ursus americanus]) and...
