biostudies-literatureUnknown5(44)Gautam SSThe spread of multidrug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis (TB) has become a major global challenge. In 2016, Tasmania recorded its first known incidence of MDR-TB. Here, we report the draft whole-genome sequence of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolate from this case, TASMDR1, and describe single-nucleotide polymorphisms associated with its drug resistance.Genome announcementshttps://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC5668546biostudies-literatureDraft Genome Sequence of the First Confirmed Isolate of Multidrug-Resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Tasmania.PMC5668546O'Toole RFGautam SSMac Aogain MfalseDraft Genome Sequence of the First Confirmed Isolate of Multidrug-Resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Tasmania.The spread of multidrug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis (TB) has become a major global challenge.
