Abstract
The Rangipo genotype of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex has been associated with a number of tuberculosis (TB) outbreaks in New Zealand. We report here the draft whole-genome sequence of a representative isolate of this strain.
Highlights
An outbreak of TB in 2002 in Hawke’s Bay involving 19 active cases of Rangipo TB was associated with a high rate of transmission, as determined by the presentation of TB disease or latent TB infection in 16.4% and 20.0%, respectively, of household or other close contacts [6]
This whole-genome shotgun project has been deposited at DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank under the accession no
This work, including the efforts of Micheál Mac Aogáin, was funded by Irish Research Council (EPSPD/2015/32)
