Annotated Genome Sequence of Mycobacterium massiliense Strain M154, Belonging to the Recently Created Taxon Mycobacterium abscessus subsp. bolletii comb. nov.

Abstract

Mycobacterium massiliense has recently been proposed as a member of Mycobacterium abscessus subsp. bolletii comb. nov. Strain M154, a clinical isolate from the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of a Malaysian patient presenting with lower respiratory tract infection, was subjected to shotgun DNA sequencing with the Illumina sequencing technology to obtain whole-genome sequence data for comparison with other genetically related strains within the M. abscessus species complex.
