Draft Genome Sequence of Mycobacterium massiliense Strain M159, Showing Phenotypic Resistance to ?-Lactam and Tetracycline Antibiotics.

ABSTRACT: Mycobacterium massiliense is a nontuberculous mycobacterium associated with human infections. We report here the draft genome sequence of M. massiliense strain M159, isolated from the bronchial aspirate of a patient who had a pulmonary infection. This strain showed genotypic and in vitro resistance to a number of tetracyclines and beta-lactam antibiotics.
