Draft Genome Sequences of Heavy Metal-Resistant Listeria monocytogenes Strains of Sequence Type 14 (Clonal Complex 14) from Human Listeriosis Cases in Sweden.

ABSTRACT: Listeria monocytogenes of clonal complex 14 (CC14) is a potentially hypervirulent clone of serotype 1/2a but remains poorly characterized. We report the genome sequences of five sequence type 14 (ST14) (CC14) strains from human listeriosis cases in Sweden, which harbor a chromosomal heavy metal resistance island that is generally uncommon in serotype 1/2a.
