Abstract excerpt
Listeria monocytogenes is a major foodborne pathogen responsible for listeriosis. Ice cream has emerged as an important vehicle for L. monocytogenes transmission, yet genomic data describing strain persistence in ice cream production environments in China remain limited. In this study, we conducted whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of 57 L. monocytogenes isolates recovered from two ice cream production facilities in...
