Genome Sequences of Five Disinfectant-Resistant Listeria monocytogenes Strains from Two Iberian Pork-Processing Plants

Genome Announc. 2015 Mar 5;3(2):e00077-15. doi: 10.1128/genomeA.00077-15.

Abstract

We announce the draft genome sequences of five Listeria monocytogenes strains from two Iberian pork-processing plants located in Spain that were distinguished by their resistance to benzalkonium chloride. These strains seem highly adapted to the meat-processing environment according to their persistence and transmission capabilities.
