Abstract
Listeria monocytogenes-targeting phage (LMC) was isolated from fowl droppings, and its complete genome was analyzed. LMC consists of 42,151 bp with a GC content of 36.58% and contains 59 open reading frames. It has an icosahedral capsid and a long tail. It shows a high antibacterial ability against L. monocytogenes ATCC 19115.
