Abstract
Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), some of which had multidrug-resistant profiles, were isolated from a tertiary care hospital setting. Although most NTM are nonpathogenic, contamination of hospital surfaces by these opportunistic pathogens poses a health risk to vulnerable inpatients. These high-quality NTM draft genomes are fundamental for future genetic and epidemiological studies.
Highlights
Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), some of which had multidrugresistant profiles, were isolated from a tertiary care hospital setting
We have performed a microbiological survey aimed at the investigation of the presence of NTM populations in a tertiary care hospital [6]
We present the high-quality draft genome sequences of the five NTM strains isolated from surfaces of different wards in that hospital
