Abstract

Listeria monocytogenes is of particular concern to the produce industry due to its frequent presence in natural environments as well as its ability to survive in packinghouses and fresh-cut processing facilities over time. The use of whole-genome sequencing, which provides high discriminatory power for the characterization of Listeria isolates, along with detailed source data (isolation date and sample location) shows that the presence of Listeria in produce operations appears to be due to random and continued reintroduction as well as to the persistence of highly related strains in both packinghouses and fresh-cut facilities.
