Abstract

Listeria monocytogenes is responsible for severe foodborne disease and major economic losses, but its potential reservoirs in natural ecosystems remain poorly understood. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of 158 L. monocytogenes strains isolated from black bears (Ursus americanus) in the southeastern United States between 2014 and 2017.
