Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) is associated with severe foodborne infections and ubiquitous in the nature. Identification of characteristics of Lm transmission through trading of food products is essential for rapidly tracking Lm sources and controlling dissemination of listeriosis. In this study, a total of 44 Lm strains were isolated from food products originating from 14 countries/regions during 2003-2018 at the Shanghai port. The genomes of these Lm strains were sequenced by high-throughput sequencing. Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) analysis showed that 43 isolates were divided into 17 sequence types (STs). The distribution of STs was decentralized, with the dominant ST2 accounting for only 18.18% of the strains. The LM63 strain did not match with any of the existing STs. Core-genome MLST (cgMLST) analysis based on 1748 core genes categorized the 44 strains into 30 cgMLST types (CTs), with CT10153 and CT7892 as the most predominant CTs. Notably, LM63 and LM67 shared the same CT in the cgMLST analysis. The phylogenetic analysis based on single-copy homologous genes revealed that the 44 Lm strains were primarily classified into two lineages. The SNP analysis also indicated that these strains were roughly divided into two clades, with strains in the first clade mainly collected earlier than those in the second clade, which were predominantly collected from 2010 onwards. The analysis using the virulence factor database (VFDB) indicated that the virulence gene inlJ was the most prevalent among these 44 strains. Notably, ddrA, msbA, and sugC were enriched in this dataset, requiring further clarification of their roles in Listeria through future studies. These results might provide a clue for understanding of the global epidemiology and surveillance of Lm and present insights for implementing effective measures to reduce or prevent Listeria contamination outbreaks in imported food products.

In 2022, the global trade value of goods exported throughout the world amounted to approximately 24.9 trillion U.S. dollars at current prices. In comparison, this figure stood at around 6.45 trillion U.S. dollars in 2000. The rise in the value of goods exported around the world reflects developments in international trade, globalization, and advances in technology.

Export trade
Global trade refers to the exchange of capital, goods and services between different countries and territories. The export of trade goods refers to goods sold internationally which were grown, produced, or manufactured in another country.

Who are the leading importers and exporters of trade goods?
In 2021, China was the largest source of goods exported around the world, with total merchandise exports valuing approximately 3.37 trillion U.S. dollars. That year, China was responsible for almost 15 percent of all trade goods exported around the world. The United States was the second largest exporters of goods that year. The United States was the leading importer of merchandise in the world as of 2021. That year, the global superpower accounted for 13 percent of the world’s merchandise imports.

Russia's gross domestic product (GDP) was estimated to grow by 3.65 percent in 2023 compared to the previous year. To compare, in 2022, the country's GDP dropped by around 1.25 percent. GDP refers to the total market value of all goods and services that are produced within a country per year. It is an important indicator of the economic strength of a country. Real GDP is adjusted for price changes and is therefore regarded as a key indicator for economic growth. Trade balance of Russia With the exception of 2009, Russia’s GDP was relatively stable year-over-year, however at a higher rate prior to the financial crisis. In 2012, Russia reported a trade surplus, meaning that more goods and services combined were exported than imported. However, Russia primarily profited from exporting goods, earning the majority of its revenues from its trade balance of goods, while the nation posted a trade deficit on its services, its highest loss recorded since 2003. Russia imports and exports its products and services primarily to neighboring countries or countries in Europe. Russia’s most important trade partner is arguably China, potentially due to shared borders and strong political relations between the two nations. China is accountable for roughly 19.2 percent of all of Russia’s imports, however only makes up roughly 8.3 percent of the country’s total exports. China has become an important import partner for many nations around the world as well as a country where larger companies can manufacture goods at a cheaper price.
