Genome Announc. 2018 Jun 21;6(25):e00523-18. doi: 10.1128/genomeA.00523-18.

Abstract

Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain MYC004 was isolated from a Mexican patient with tuberculous meningitis, the most aggressive form of tuberculosis. The draft genome sequence is the first of a meningeal strain of M. tuberculosis reported from Latin America and consists of 4,411,530 bp, including 4,251 protein-encoding genes.
