Draft Genome Sequences of 12 Leuconostoc carnosum Strains Isolated from Cooked Ham Packaged in a Modified Atmosphere and from Fresh Sausages

ABSTRACT Leuconostoc carnosum is a lactic acid bacterium that preferentially colonizes meat. In this work, we present the draft genome sequences of 12 Leuconostoc carnosum strains isolated from modified-atmosphere-packaged cooked ham and fresh sausages. Three strains harbor bacteriocin genes.
