Enrichment dynamics of Listeria monocytogenes and the associated microbiome from naturally contaminated ice cream linked to a listeriosis outbreak.
Andrea Ottesen,Padmini Ramachandran,Elizabeth Reed,James R. White,Nur A. Hasan,Poorani Subramanian,Gina Ryan,Karen G. Jarvis,Christopher J. Grim,Ninalynn Daquiqan,Darcy E. Hanes,Marc W. Allard,Rita R. Colwell,Eric W. Brown,Yi Chen +14 more
TL;DR: The draft assembly of a consensus genome of L. monocytogenes from shotgun metagenomic data demonstrated the potential utility of this approach to expedite trace-back of outbreak-associated strains, although further validation will be needed to confirm this utility.
Core Genome Multilocus Sequence Typing for Identification of Globally Distributed Clonal Groups and Differentiation of Outbreak Strains of Listeria monocytogenes
Yi Chen,Narjol Gonzalez-Escalona,Thomas S. Hammack,Marc W. Allard,Errol Strain,Eric W. Brown +5 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that core genome MLST schemes can be used for the simultaneous identification of clonal groups and the differentiation of individual outbreak strains and epidemiologically unrelated strains of the same clonal group.

Régis Pouillot,Karl C. Klontz,Yi Chen,Laurel S. Burall,Dumitru Macarisin,Matthew Doyle,Kären M. Bally,Errol Strain,Atin R. Datta,Thomas S. Hammack,Jane M. Van Doren +10 more
TL;DR: Listeriosis can occur in susceptible populations when products with low-level contamination are distributed widely and remain in circulation for extended periods of time.
Listeria monocytogenes in Stone Fruits Linked to a Multistate Outbreak: Enumeration of Cells and Whole-Genome Sequencing
Yi Chen,Laurel S. Burall,Yan Luo,Ruth Timme,David Melka,Tim Muruvanda,Justin Payne,Charles Wang,George Kastanis,Anna Maounounen-Laasri,Antonio J. De Jesus,Phillip Curry,Robert Stones,Okumu K'Aluoch,Eileen Liu,Monique Salter,Thomas S. Hammack,Peter Evans,Mickey E. Parish,Marc W. Allard,Atin R. Datta,Errol Strain,Eric W. Brown +22 more
TL;DR: The diversity among the outbreak-associated isolates and the inclusion of PFGE-matched, but epidemiologically unrelated, isolates demonstrate the high resolution of WGS.

The occurrence of Listeria monocytogenes is associated with built environment microbiota in three tree fruit processing facilities
TL;DR: The composition and diversity of microbiota and mycobiota present in the investigated built food processing environments may be indicative of persistent contamination with L. monocytogenes and support the need for further investigation of the role of the microbial communities in the persistence of the foodborne pathogen.
