Abstract excerpt
Mycobacterium shinjukuense, a rare non-tuberculous mycobacterial species closely related to Mycobacterium tuberculosis, remains poorly characterized at the genomic level. To obtain insights into its intraspecies genomic diversity and structure variation, we performed whole-genome sequencing on 18 clinical strains of M. shinjukuense collected from Japan between 2010 and 2017. Phylogenetic analysis revealed limited...
