Draft genome sequences of two wide-host-range phages of Listeria monocytogenes from food processing environments in the United States

Abstract

Listeria monocytogenes is notorious for persistence in food facilities. Phages can significantly impact the ecology of Listeria, but there is a dearth of genome sequence data for Listeria phages from food processing ecosystems. We report the genome sequences of two Listeria phages from turkey processing facilities in the USA.
