Abstract

Bacteriophages isolated from environmental sources can be used as a biocontrol against the foodborne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes Here, we present the complete genomes of LP-039 and LP-066, two Pecentumvirus bacteriophages that infect L. monocytogenes The genome sizes of LP-039 and LP-066 are 136.2 kb and 139.0 kb, respectively.
