Predicting Antibiotic Resistance in <i>Listeria monocytogenes</i> from Food and Food-Processing Environments Using Next-Generation Sequencing: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT: Listeria monocytogenes is a ubiquitous foodborne pathogen whose occurrence in food and food-processing environments raises public-health concerns, particularly when isolates carry antimicrobial-resistance determinants. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is increasingly used to detect resistance genes and to predict phenotypic resistance. Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA 2020) guidelines, PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus were searched for original articles (2015-2024) that used second- and/or third-generation sequencing to characterize antibiotic resistance in L. monocytogenes from food and food-processing environments. After deduplication and screening, 58 studies were included from an initial 418 records. NGS reliably d
