Listeria monocytogenes strain:MR310 Genome sequencing and assembly. Listeria monocytogenes strain:MR310

investigate the presence, abundance, and diversity of foodborne bacterial pathogens in pastured poultry management systems, using a systems-based farm-to-fork approach. As one of the major bacterial pathogens, Listeria was isolated from live production (feces, soil), processing (ceca, whole carcass rinses), and final products (whole carcass rinses) to determine what Listeria were present, where along the farm-to-fork continuum they were present, and how the diversity of Listeria changed based on the different farms or management stages in the study, Better understanding the ecology of Listeria through their genotypes may help elucidate potential intervention targets for future studies.
