Abstract

Listeria monocytogenes, a concerning foodborne pathogen, causes severe infections in vulnerable subjects such as pregnant women and the elderly. In this article, we present the complete genome sequence of P4_LIS, an L. monocytogenes isolated from a patient with invasive bacteria infection.

Keywords: Listeria monocytogenes; bloodstream infections; invasive bacteria infection.
