Complete Genome Sequence of Mycobacterium abscessus subsp. bolletii

Year: 2016

Type: article

Abstract: We report the complete genome sequence of a Mycobacterium abscessus subsp. bolletii isolate recovered from a sputum culture from an individual with cystic fibrosis. This sequence is the first completed whole-genome sequence of M. abscessus subsp. bolletii and adds value to studies of M. abscessus complex genomics.
