filter terms:

Nucleotide sequence-based methods focusing on the single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of Listeria monocytogenes and L. innocua housekeeping genes (multilocus sequence typing) and in the core genome (core genome MLST) facilitate the rapid and interlaboratory comparison in open accessible databases as provided by Institute Pasteur ( https://bigsdb.web.pasteur.fr/listeria/listeria.html ). Strains can be compared on a global level and help to track forward and trace backward pathogen contamination events in food processing facilities and in outbreak scenarios.
