Draft Genome Sequences of Three Listeria monocytogenes Isolates from Foods in China

ABSTRACT Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne pathogen of global concern because of the high mortality rate among patients. The draft genome sequences of three L. monocytogenes strains isolated from foods are reported here. The availability of these genomes should provide useful information on the genomic diversity of L. monocytogenes isolated from foods in China.
