Virulence Gene Profiling and Molecular Typing of Clinical Isolates of Listeria monocytogenes from Wenzhou, Eastern China
The clinical isolates of <i>Listeria monocytogenes</i> in Wenzhou City exhibit polymorphism in MLST typing, predominantly ST87 (CC87) and serotype 1/2b. All strains harbored the major virulence genes, indicating their potential pathogenicity. This underscores the necessity for enhanced surveillance and preventive measures regarding the virulence genes of <i>Listeria monocytogenes</i> and antibiotic resistance.
