New insights into the epidemiology of Listeria monocytogenes – A cross-sectoral retrospective genomic analysis in the Netherlands (2010–2020)

IntroductionListeriosis, caused by infection with Listeria monocytogenes (Lm), is a relatively rare but severe disease with one of the highest mortality rates among bacterial foodborne illnesses. A better understanding on the degree of Lm clustering, the temporal distribution of the clusters, and their association with the various food sources is expected to lead to improved source tracing and risk-based sampling.MethodsWe investigated the genomic epidemiology of Lm in the Netherlands between 2010 and 2020 by analyzing whole-genome-sequencing (WGS) data of isolates from listerioss patients and...
