Annotated genome sequences of 16 lineage 4 mycobacterium tuberculosis strains from Guatemala

Abstract

Whole-genome sequencing has resulted in new insights into the phylogeography of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. However, only limited genomic data are available from M. tuberculosis strains in Guatemala. Here we report 16 complete genomes of clinical strains belonging to the Euro-American lineage 4, the most common lineage found in Guatemala and Central America.
