Genomic data on the foodborne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes from Central America are scarce. We analyzed 92 isolates collected during 2009-2019 from different regions in Costa Rica, compared those to publicly available genomes, and identified unrecognized outbreaks. Our findings suggest mandatory reporting of listeriosis in Costa Rica would improve pathogen surveillance.
中美洲食源性致病菌单核细胞增生李斯特菌的基因组数据很少。我们分析了 2009 年至 2019 年期间从哥斯达黎加不同地区采集的 92 株分离株,将这些分离株与公开的基因组进行比较,并确定了未被识别的疫情。我们的研究结果表明,哥斯达黎加强制报告李斯特菌病将有助于加强病原体监测。
