Whole-Genome Sequences of Two Listeria monocytogenes Serovar 1/2a Strains Responsible for a Severe Listeriosis Outbreak in Central Italy

We report the whole-genome sequences of two strains responsible for a severe invasive listeriosis outbreak in central Italy that occurred in 2015 and 2016. These two strains differ by a single band in their pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) profiles.
