Comparative genomics approaches for the study of persistent L. monocytogenes strains in three RTE seafood-processing plants in France. Listeria monocytogenes persistence in RTE seafood plant in France

The aim of this study is to characterize the whole genome of 94 L. monocytogenes strains, isolated from three different RTE seafood-processing plant in France over 2 to 6 years of sampling, to better understand the genetic determinants contributing to their long-term survival.
