Abstract
The rapidly growing Mycobacterium septicum rarely causes pulmonary infections. We report here the draft genome sequence of M. septicum strain DSM 44393T, isolated from catheter-related bacteremia and initially identified as a member of Mycobacterium fortuitum.
Highlights
The rapidly growing Mycobacterium septicum rarely causes pulmonary infections
M. septicum rarely causes pulmonary infections [3, 4] but the name was coined after its initial isolation from the blood of a patient with catheter-related bacteremia, when it was identified as a member of the Mycobacterium fortuitum group [5]
In order to get further knowledge on this group of mycobacteria, we report here the first draft genome sequence of M. septicum strain DSM 44393T
Summary
The rapidly growing Mycobacterium septicum rarely causes pulmonary infections. We report here the draft genome sequence of M. septicum strain DSM 44393T, isolated from catheter-related bacteremia and initially identified as a member of Mycobacterium fortuitum. The rapidly growing Mycobacterium septicum is found in water environments [1, 2]. M. septicum rarely causes pulmonary infections [3, 4] but the name was coined after its initial isolation from the blood of a patient with catheter-related bacteremia, when it was identified as a member of the Mycobacterium fortuitum group [5]. In order to get further knowledge on this group of mycobacteria, we report here the first draft genome sequence of M. septicum strain DSM 44393T.
