## TL;DR

This paper presents the complete genome of a Listeria aquatica strain found in a cheese ripening environment in Austria.

## Contribution

The study provides the first complete genome sequence of L. aquatica from a cheese production setting.

## Key findings

- The genome was sequenced from a sample collected in 2025 in Austria.
- The strain was isolated from lubricating water in a cheese ripening environment.

## Abstract

Listeria aquatica was originally isolated from water in Florida (USA) in 2014. Here, we report the complete genome of L. aquatica strain MRL-25-00004, which was obtained from lubricating water in a cheese ripening environment in Austria in 2025.
