Summary Listeria monocytogenes 10403S is a bacterial foodborne pathogen that causes a disease known as listeriosis in human and other animals. The genus Listeria is named after the British scientist Joseph Lister, who promoted the idea of sterile surgery. This serotype 1/2a strain is used by the majority of investigators in the U.S. studying the pathogenesis of Listeria monocytogenes. 10403S is a streptomycin resistant isolate of strain 10403, which was first reported by [Edman68] as an isolate from a human skin lesion obtained from Montana State University and is further described in [Bishop87].

This Pathway/Genome Database (PGDB) was created by a team from Cornell University [Orsi15] from the annotated genome using the PathoLogic component of the Pathway Tools software [Karp11, Karp19] and the MetaCyc reference database [Caspi20]. The PGDB, which integrates the biochemical reaction network and metabolic pathways of the organism with its genome, was improved by limited manual curation.
