Abstract

There is currently limited knowledge of the genome sequences of nonpathogenic Listeria species, especially strains from wildlife. Here, we report the draft genome sequence and associated genome information of an antibiotic-resistant Listeria innocua strain, UAM003-1A, isolated from the feces of a black bear in California, USA.
