This paper reports on the whole-genome sequencing of a streptomycin-resistant
Mycobacterium tuberculosis
strain that was isolated from a patient with pulmonary tuberculosis in Sabah state of Malaysian Borneo. The strain belongs to the EAI2-Manila family of lineage 1 and is clustered with
M. tuberculosis
strains from the Philippines, India, and Taiwan.
ABSTRACT
We describe here the draft genome sequence of AY1MRC, a Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain belonging to lineage 1 (Indo-Oceanic) and the East African Indian spoligotype, isolated from a patient with tuberculosis in Jazan, Saudi Arabia.
