چکیده
Mycobacterium kansasii is a nontuberculous mycobacterium. It causes opportunistic infections with pulmonary and extrapulmonary manifestations. We report here the complete genome sequences of two M. kansasii strains isolated from rhesus macaques. We performed genome comparisons with human and environmental isolates of M. kansasii to assess the genomic diversity of this species.

Draft Genome Sequences of Mycobacterium kansasii Clinical Strains
Mycobacterium kansasii is a nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) pathogen, frequently isolated from clinical samples and responsible for a large part of NTM infections in the human population. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of 12 M. kansasii strains isolated from clinical and host-associated sources from the Netherlands, Germany, and Poland.

Mycobacterium kansasii belongs to the nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) and causes opportunistic infections with both pulmonary and extrapulmonary manifestations. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of six environmental M. kansasii strains, designated 1010001495 (type I), 1010001469 (type II), 1010001468 (type III), 1010001458 (type IV), 1010001454 (type V), and 1010001493 (type V), orig...
متن کاملProfile of Eight Prophage Sequences Present in the Genomes of Different Acinetobacter baumannii Strains
ABSTRACT Background and Objective: Prophage sequences are major contributors to interstrain variations within the same bacterial species. Acinetobacter baumannii is a gram-negative bacterium that causes a wide range of nosocomial infections, especially in intensive care unit inpatients. Prophage sequences constitute a considerable proporti...
متن کاملComplete Genome Sequences of Three Representative Mycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing Family Strains Belonging to Distinct Genotype Clusters in Hanoi, Vietnam, during 2007 to 2009
We present here three complete genome sequences of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing family strains isolated in Hanoi, Vietnam. These three strains were selected from major genotypic clusters (15-MIRU-VNTR) identified in a previous population-based study. We emphasize their importance and potential as reference strains in this Asian region.
