Application of Whole Genome Sequencing to Understand Diversity and Presence of Genes Associated with Sanitizer Tolerance in <i>Listeria monocytogenes</i> from Produce Handling Sources

Recent listeriosis outbreaks linked to fresh produce suggest the need to better understand and mitigate <i>L. monocytogenes</i> contamination in packing and processing environments. Using whole genome sequencing (WGS) and phenotype screening assays for sanitizer tolerance, we characteriz...
