Complete Genome Sequence of Mycobacterium heckeshornense JCM 15655T, Closely Related to a Pathogenic Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Species, Mycobacterium xenopi.

ABSTRACT: Mycobacterium heckeshornense is a slow-growing mycobacterial species for which pathogenic features are unclear. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of an M. heckeshornense type strain. This sequence will provide essential information for future taxonomic and comparative genome studies of these mycobacteria.
