^aSerotypes of L. monocytogenes were determined using an agglutination test with antisera and PCR.

^bATCC: American Type Culture Collection, JCM: Japan Collection of Microorganisms, RIKEN BRC, NBRP: National BioResource Project.

^cweak agglutination reaction with H antisera from Denka Seiken.

^dSerotype information for strains No. 17 and 22 is provided by the supplier.

^eThese strains (JCM7689 and JCM7682) were deposited as L. monocytogenes in JCM but we revealed that they are L. seeligeri.
