Abstract:
We sequenced the genome of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain MT11, which exhibits a specific 16S rRNA gene mutation found in 6% of French Polynesian M. tuberculosis isolates. It comprises a 4,110,293-bp chromosome with 65.15% G+C content, and it encodes 3,949 proteins and contains 85 predicted RNA genes. The TbD1 region is absent in strain MT11 as in modern M. tuberculosis strains.
