Listeria monocytogenesis a Gram-positive bacterium with a ubiquitous presence in the environment. There is growing concern about the increasing prevalence ofL. monocytogenesassociated with food-borne outbreaks. Here we report genome sequences for a cluster of human isolates ofL. monocytogenesidentified in South Africa in 2015.
