Abstract
Normally, only one isolate of Listeria monocytogenes from a case of listeriosis is subjected to characterization. Here we show that two isolates from different sites of the body were not the same strain. Such a phenomenon may not have any clinical relevance, although it may confuse the epidemiologist trying to match infection source with infection target.Entities:
