High density genomic surveillance and risk profiling of clinical Listeria monocytogenes subtypes in Germany
Our work presents an in-depth analysis of the genomic characteristics of L. monocytogenes isolates that cause disease in Germany. It supports prioritisation of disease clusters for epidemiological investigations and reinforces the need to analyse the mechanisms underlying hyper- and hypovirulence.
