Abstract
Genomic data on the foodborne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes from Central America are scarse. We analysed 92 isolates collected in Costa Rica over a decade from different regions, compared them to publicly available genomes and identified unnoticed outbreaks. This study calls for mandatory reporting of listeriosis to improve pathogen surveillance.
