Summary:
The EU is experiencing a worrying increase in cases of foodborne illness and deaths linked to Listeria monocytogenes. Elimination of persistent strains in food processing facilities is difficult, resulting in significant economic losses and societal consequences. PopGenListeria proposes a comprehensive bioinformatics strategy to elucidate the persistence of Listeria in food processing environments while assessing the associated risks to humans.
