Abstract
The 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid oligonucleotide catalog of Listeria murrayi was found to be closely related (similarity coefficient, 0.73) to that of L. monocytogenes. These data, together with the phenotypic similarity found among all Listeria strains tested, provide no support for the exclusion of L. murrayi (and the closely related species L. grayi) from the genus Listeria.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
