Closed Genome Sequences of Clinical Listeria monocytogenes PCR Serogroup IVb Isolates Associated with Two Recent Large Listeriosis Outbreaks in Germany.

Here, we report the closed genome sequences of two representative Listeria monocytogenes strains belonging to PCR serogroup IVb, which are related to two large outbreaks of human listeriosis that affected Germany in 2015 (Eta1) and 2018 to 2019 (Epsilon1a).
