Food pathogens such as Listeria monocytogenes are a major cause of food-related illness and product recalls. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) can link patient-derived food pathogens to food products. The goal of this project is to enable food-producing companies to use WGS in monitoring their production and supply chain to identify the source of the food pathogens.
