Whole-genome sequence of 19 <i>Listeria monocytogenes</i> , isolated from municipal wastewater in State College, Pennsylvania
Eight wastewater samples were collected from three sites in State College, Pennsylvania, during June and July 2024. Nineteen <i>Listeria monocytogenes</i> were isolated and sequenced. Three isolates were ≤9 SNPs different from human cases deposited in GenBank, highlighting the potential for wastewater-based surveillance to monitor <i>L. monocytogenes</i> outbreaks.
