Complete Genome Sequence of
Mycobacterium avium
, Isolated from Commercial Domestic Pekin Ducks (
Anas platyrhynchos domestica
), Determined Using PacBio Single-Molecule Real-Time Technology
Keyword(s):
Mycobacterium avium is an important pathogenic bacterium in birds and has never, to our knowledge, reported to be isolated from domestic ducks. We present here the complete genome sequence of a virulent strain of Mycobacterium avium , isolated from domestic Pekin ducks for the first time, which was determined by PacBio single-molecule real-time technology.
