<i>Listeria monocytogenes</i> Strains Persisting in a Meat Processing Plant in Central Italy: Use of Whole Genome Sequencing and In Vitro Adhesion and Invasion Assays to Decipher Their Virulence Potential

In this study, we used both a WGS and an in vitro approach to study the virulence potential of nine <i>Listeria monocytogenes</i> (<i>Lm</i>) strains belonging to genetic clusters persisting in a meat processing plant in Central Italy. The studied clusters belonged to CC1-ST1...
