Draft genome sequences of strains from human listeriosis in Sweden harboring premature stop codons in the virulence determinant .

Premature stop codons in the internalin virulence determinant are common in serotype 1/2a from food/food processing environments but rare among human clinical isolates. Here, we report the genome sequences of serotype 1/2a (STs 121 and 3258) human listeriosis isolates from Sweden harboring such mutations in .

Draft genome sequences of two wide-host-range phages of from food processing environments in the United States.

is notorious for persistence in food facilities. Phages can significantly impact the ecology of , but there is a dearth of genome sequence data for phages from food processing ecosystems. We report the genome sequences of two phages from turkey processing facilities in the USA.

Genomic Analysis Points to Multiple Genetic Mechanisms for Non-Transformable ST-50.

and are well known for their natural competence, i.e., their capacity for the uptake of naked DNA with subsequent transformation.

Draft genome sequences of strains of sequence type 1733 which constituted a pseudo-outbreak due to contaminated blood agar media.

We report genome sequences of sequence type (ST) 1733 from a 2013 pseudo-outbreak, where isolation from non-sterile sites (urine, wound, or abscess) was an artifact from contaminated sheep blood in the isolation media. Two ST1733 strains from wound and urine in 2005 are also reported.

Draft genome sequence of sp. from whole cantaloupe, with inhibition capacity against .

We report the draft genome sequence of a novel species, sp., isolated from a freshly harvested and untreated cantaloupe in North Carolina. The strain wild type exhibited inhibitory activity against the foodborne pathogen , including strains of diverse serotypes and genotypes, both on agar media and in biofilms.
