Abstract

Premature stop codons in the internalin virulence determinant inlA are common in serotype 1/2a Listeria monocytogenes from food/food processing environments but rare among human clinical isolates. Here, we report the genome sequences of serotype 1/2a (STs 121 and 3258) human listeriosis isolates from Sweden harboring such mutations in inlA.

Keywords: Listeria monocytogenes; Sweden; clinical; inlA; internalin A; premature stop codon.
