MabsBase: a Mycobacterium abscessus genome and annotation database.

Mycobacterium abscessus is a rapidly growing non-tuberculous mycobacterial species that has been associated with a wide spectrum of human infections. As the classification and biology of this organism is still not well understood, comparative genomic analysis on members of this species may provide further insights on their taxonomy, phylogeny, pathogenicity and other information that may contribute to better management of infections. The MabsBase described in this paper is a user-friendly database providing access to whole-genome sequences of newly discovered M.

Whole-Genome Shotgun Sequencing of Mycobacterium abscessus M156, an Emerging Clinical Pathogen in Malaysia.

Mycobacterium abscessus is an emerging clinical pathogen commonly associated with non-tuberculous mycobacterial infections. We report herein the draft genome of M. abscessus strain M156.

Genomic Analysis of Mycobacterium massiliense strain M115, an isolate from human sputum.

We report the draft genome sequence of a clinical isolate, strain M115, identified as Mycobacterium massiliense, a member of the newly created taxon of Mycobacterium abscessus subspecies bolletii comb. nov.
