Sequencing and Analysis of Three Mycobacterium tuberculosis Genomes of the B0/N-90 Sublineage

Abstract

We report the draft genome sequences of three Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates belonging to the B0/N-90 sublineage, EKB34, EKB53, and EKB79. The B0/N-90 sublineage belongs to the prevalent (in Russia) and highly virulent Beijing-B0/W148 sublineage. Isolates EKB34 and EKB79 were obtained from people with immune deficiency.
