Abstract

This report describes genome sequences for nine Listeria innocua strains that varied in hemolytic phenotypes on sheep blood agar. All strains were sequenced using Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) single-molecule real-time (SMRT) chemistry; overall, the average read length of these sequences was 2,869,880 bp, with an average GC content of 37%.

Phylogenetic tree based on the full genome sequences for 39 L. innocua isolates. PacBio sequences for the 9 isolates featured in this study are shown in bold, and their sources are listed in parentheses. Strains exhibiting the atypical hemolysis phenotype are indicated by brackets. The phylogeny was constructed by Parsnp using H0996 as the reference genome. Bootstrap branch support values are depicted beside the root and branches.
