The aim of the present study was to detect the strains circulating in Sicily over a five-year period and characterize their antimicrobial resistance profiles. The key element of this study was the sharing of data among various entities involved in food control and clinical surveillance of listeriosis in order to develop an integrated approach for this pathogen. A total of 128 isolates were analyzed, including 87 food-source strains and 41 clinical specimens. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) was performed for sequence type (ST) and clonal complex (CC) identification through multilocus sequence typing (MLST) analysis. Antimicrobial resistance was assessed using the Kirby\u2013Bauer method. The majority of strains belonged to serotype IVb (34\/41 and 53\/87 of clinical and food-source isolates, respectively) and were subtyped as CC2-ST2 (28\/34 and 41\/53 of clinical and food-source isolates respectively). Most of the isolates were susceptible to the main antimicrobials recommended for treatment of listeriosis. Resistance (R) and intermediate resistance (I) percentages worthy of attention were found against oxacillin (R: 85.9%) and clindamycin (I: 34.6%) in the food-source isolates and trimethoprim\/sulfamethoxazole (R: 29.23%) in the clinical isolates. Also, 7.7% of the food-source isolates were multidrug resistant. Our results highlight how the punctual comparison between food and clinical strains is an essential tool for effectively tracking and preventing foodborne outbreaks.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/pathogens14030294","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,18]],"date-time":"2025-03-18T06:02:40Z","timestamp":1742277760000},"page":"294","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Molecular Characterization and Antimicrobial Resistance Evaluation of Listeria monocytogenes Strains from Food and Human Samples"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2722-1244","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Annamaria","family":"Castello","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"IZSSI\u2014Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale della Sicilia \u201cA.
