Most published studies on performance characteristics of the COBAS AMPLICOR (CA) system and Real Time PCR (RT-PCR) for detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis have been carried out in countries other than India.[1] Strains of M. tuberculosis are known to vary in their genomic structure between geographical regions. Performance characteristics of these tests have not been determined on locally p...

We report the 4.79-Mb genome sequence of the "Indian Bison Type" biotype of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis strain S5, isolated from a terminally sick Jamunapari goat at the CIRG (Central Institute for Research on Goats) farm in India. This draft genome will help in studying novelties of this biotype, which is widely distributed in animals and human beings in India.
