Article Synopsis
- Listeria monocytogenes, a foodborne pathogen causing listeriosis, is identified as a risk in deli meats in Mexico, with limited genomic analysis on its transmission and virulence.
- This study presents four high-quality genome drafts of L. monocytogenes strains from deli meats, identifying specific serotypes and clonal complexes through in silico typing.
- The findings reveal that the strains belong to lineage I with shared multidrug resistance patterns and virulence genes, indicating a risk for human disease linked to these deli meat sources.
Listeriosis is a foodborne disease caused by Listeria monocytogenes (Lm), which represents a public health problem. Lm has been identified as an important contaminating bacterium of ready-to-eat meat products (RTEM) in Mexico. The objective was to explore the risk factors for acquiring listeriosis due to sausage consumption by defining the consumer profile, evaluating the survival of Lm in sausage (5, 10, and 25 °C for 32 days) and performing a quantitative microbiological risk assessment.
