Annotated Whole-Genome Shotgun Sequence of Multidrug-Resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis MTB13_M Isolated from Morocco

Abstract

Here, we describe the annotated genome sequence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis MTB13_M. The organism was isolated from a sputum sample in Morocco.

Whole-Genome Shotgun Sequences of Three Multidrug-Resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis Strains Isolated from Morocco

“…In cases of exposure to tuberculosis, 70% of individuals are not infected, while 30% develop an infection. Of infected individuals, 90% have a latent infection, while the remaining 10% develop tuberculosis ( 1 , 2 ). Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is caused by a TB bacterium that is resistant to at least isoniazid and rifampin, the two most potent drugs used to treat TB infection.…”
