Abstract

Bacteriophages can be used as a biocontrol for the foodborne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes Propagation of phages is a necessary step for their use in experimental studies and biocontrol applications. Here, we present the complete genomes of three Listeria monocytogenes strains commonly used as propagation hosts for Listeria phages.
