Abstract
Mycobacterium parafortuitum is a rapidly growing nontuberculous mycobacterium, initially isolated from soil in Japan. The 6,175,772-bp draft genome sequence of M. parafortuitum strain P7335 exhibits a G+C content of 68.4%, 5,783 protein-coding genes, and 66 predicted RNA genes, including 59 tRNA genes, 6 rRNA operons, and 1 transfer-messenger RNA.

Mycobacterium parafortuitum is a rapidly growing nontuberculous mycobacterium, initially isolated from soil in Japan
A so-called M. parafortuitum complex was initially defined on the basis of phenotypic characteristics shared by several species [5, 8] comprising Mycobacterium neoaurum [9, 10], Mycobacterium hodleri [11], Mycobacterium aurum, Mycobacterium vaccae, Mycobacterium diernhoferi, Mycobacterium austroafricanum [5], and Mycobacterium frederiksbergense [12]
In order to further contribute to the delineation of the so-called M. parafortuitum complex, we sequenced the genome of M. parafortuitum strain P7335 after it was cultured for 7 days at 37°C on Middlebrook 7H10 agar supplemented with 10% oleic albumin dextrose catalase (OADC) (Becton, Dickinson, Sparks, USA) under a 5% CO2 atmosphere
