AI Article Synopsis
- Mycobacteriosis, caused by nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), is becoming more common and is naturally resistant to most antituberculosis medications.
- Researchers sequenced the complete genome of a new NTM strain named JDM601, which belongs to the Mycobacterium terrae complex.
- This strain was isolated from a patient exhibiting tuberculosis-like symptoms and demonstrates multiple antibiotic resistances.
Article Abstract
Mycobacteriosis is on the increase. Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are resistant to most antituberculosis drugs naturally. We determined the complete genome sequence of a novel NTM strain, JDM601, of the Mycobacterium terrae complex, which was isolated from a patient with tuberculosis-like disease and with various antibiotic resistances.
