Listeria monocytogenes of clonal complex 14 (CC14) is a potentially hypervirulent clone of serotype 1/2a but remains poorly characterized. We report the genome sequences of five sequence type 14 (ST14) (CC14) strains from human listeriosis cases in Sweden, which harbor a chromosomal heavy metal resistance island that is generally uncommon in serotype 1/2a.
