Draft Genome Sequences of Two Drug-Resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis Isolates from Myanmar
نویسندگان
چکیده
Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and lately, extensively drug-resistant TB (XDR-TB) are increasing global health concerns. Here, we present the genome sequences of two MDR-TB isolates from Myanmar, one of 27 countries with a high MDR-TB burden, and describe a number of mutations consistent with these being XDR-TB isolates.

Draft genome sequences of two super-extensively drug-resistant isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from China.
The prevalence of drug-resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis is already having a negative impact on the control of tuberculosis. We report the draft genome sequences of two super-extensively drug-resistant M. tuberculosis isolates from China, FJ05194 (lineage 2) and GuangZ0019 (lineage 4), and compare them with the H37Rv reference strain to identify possible sources of genetic variation asso...
متن کاملWhole-Genome Sequencing of Two Latin American–Mediterranean Extensively Drug-Resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis Clinical Isolates from Medellín, Colombia
Colombia, with a tuberculosis incidence of 33 cases per 100,000 population, is one of the countries that have reported extensively drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (XDR-TB). We report the high-quality draft genome sequences of two Latin American-Mediterranean XDR-TB clinical isolates (TBR-152 and TBR-175), comprising 4,303,775 bp and 4,330,115 bp, respectively.
متن کاملWhole-genome sequencing of multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from Myanmar
Drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) is a major health threat in Myanmar. An initial study was conducted to explore the potential utility of whole-genome sequencing (WGS) for the diagnosis and management of drug-resistant TB in Myanmar. Fourteen multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates were sequenced. Known resistance genes for a total of nine antibiotics commonly used in the treatme...
متن کاملWhole-Genome Sequences of Two Clinical Isolates of Extensively Drug-Resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis from Zunyi, China
Before 2013, 92 countries reported extensively drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis cases to the WHO. Here, we announce the genome sequences of two clinical isolates of extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) from Zunyi, China. The genome sequences are composed of 4,411,507 bp and 4,411,515 bp with 2,210 and 2,071 variants, respectively, when compared to the H37Rv genome.
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequences of Two Pyrazinamide-Resistant Clinical Isolates, Mycobacterium tuberculosis 13-4152 and 13-2459
We report draft genome sequences of two pyrazinamide (PZA)-resistant isolates, Mycobacterium tuberculosis 13-4152 and 13-2459. Isolate 13-4152 is PZA resistant, though it lacks mutations in known genes of PZA resistance. The comparative analysis of these genomes with those stored in GenBank revealed unique mutations, which may elucidate new mechanisms of PZA resistance.
