Abstract

Listeria monocytogenes is one of the most important foodborne pathogens. In this report, we present the complete and annotated genome of L. monocytogenes sequence type 06 (ST06) serovar 4b strain IZSAM_Lm_hs2008, isolated from an adult immunocompetent patient who developed the disease and died.
