Contrasting Genetic Diversity of Listeria Pathogenicity Islands 3 and 4 Harbored by Nonpathogenic Listeria spp.
Lee, S., Parsons, C., Chen, Y., Dungan, R. S. S., & Kathariou, S. (2023, February 2). APPLIED AND ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBIOLOGY.
author keywords: Listeria; genetic diversity; pathogenicity islands
MeSH headings : Humans; Genomic Islands; Listeria / genetics; Listeriosis / veterinary; Listeriosis / microbiology; Listeria monocytogenes / genetics; Genetic Variation; Food Microbiology
TL;DR:
Analysis of the whole-genome sequence data suggested that both islands were horizontally acquired but differed considerably in their incidence and genetic diversity, demonstrating that pathogenicity islands in nonpathogenic hosts can evolve along different trajectories, leading to either degeneration or maintenance, and highlight the need to examine their physiological roles in non pathogenic hosts.

TL;DR:
The data are in agreement with the hypothesis that, in this lineage of L. innocua, gtcA was acquired by lateral transfer from L. monocytogenes serogroup 4, and the high degree of nucleotide sequence conservation in the gTCA sequences suggests that such transfer was relatively recent.
