Complete genome sequence of a type strain of Mycobacterium abscessus subsp. bolletii, a member of the Mycobacterium abscessus complex

Abstract

Mycobacterium abscessus subsp. bolletii is a rapidly growing mycobacterial organism for which the taxonomy is unclear. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of a Mycobacterium abscessus subsp. bolletii type strain. This sequence will provide essential information for future taxonomic and comparativegenome studies of these mycobacteria.
