# Complete genome sequence of a Listeria monocytogenes serotype 1 isolated from a critically ill patient in Italy, 2023

## TL;DR

This paper reports the full genome sequence of a Listeria monocytogenes strain from a critically ill patient in Italy.

## Contribution

The study provides the complete genome sequence of a clinical L. monocytogenes isolate from 2023.

## Key findings

- The genome sequence of P4_LIS was fully characterized.
- The isolate was obtained from a patient with an invasive bacterial infection.

## Abstract

Listeria monocytogenes, a concerning foodborne pathogen, causes severe infections in vulnerable subjects such as pregnant women and the elderly. In this article, we present the complete genome sequence of P4_LIS, an L. monocytogenes isolated from a patient with invasive bacteria infection.
