Abstract

Eight wastewater samples were collected from three sites in State College, Pennsylvania, during June and July 2024. Nineteen Listeria monocytogenes were isolated and sequenced. Three isolates were ≤9 SNPs different from human cases deposited in GenBank, highlighting the potential for wastewater-based surveillance to monitor L. monocytogenes outbreaks.
