Phenotypic characterization and analysis of complete genomes of two distinct strains of the proposed species "L. swaminathanii"

The paper characterizes two new strains of Listeria swaminathanii, comparing their genomes and phenotypes to the type strain, finding high genomic similarity but some phenotypic differences.

Soil collected in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park yielded a novel Listeria species, L. swaminathanii, effectively expanding the sensu stricto clade to ten species
