Abstract

The majority of isolates from tuberculosis patients in Hawaii arrive through the immigration of infected individuals from the western Pacific. We report here on the annotated complete genomes of two strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from the two main lineages/families in Hawaii, Beijing and Manila.
