Complete genome sequence of Mycobacterium xenopi type strain RIVM700367

J Bacteriol. 2012 Jun;194(12):3282-3. doi: 10.1128/JB.00482-12.

Abstract

Mycobacterium xenopi is a slow-growing, thermophilic, water-related Mycobacterium species. Like other nontuberculous mycobacteria, M. xenopi more commonly infects humans with altered immune function, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients. It is considered clinically relevant in a significant proportion of the patients from whom it is isolated. We report here the whole genome sequence of M. xenopi type strain RIVM700367.
