Edité par CCSD ; Centers for Disease Control and Prevention -
International audience. Genomic data on the foodborne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes from Central America are scarce. Here, we analysed 92 isolates collected in Costa Rica over a decade from different regions, compared them to publicly available genomes and identified unrecognized outbreaks. This study calls for mandatory reporting of listeriosis to improve pathogen surveillance.
