Abstract

Mycobacteriosis can cause morbidity and mortality and is characterized as a disease with zoonotic potential that is found worldwide in both fresh and marine fish. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Mycobacterium pseudoshottsii strain AR, an isolate recovered from infected meagre (Argyrosomus regius) raised on farms in Greece.
