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. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/00207713-37-3-298
