Mycobacterium mungi, a Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex pathogen, has emerged in banded mongoose in northern Botswana and Northwest Zimbabwe. The pathogen is transmitted through infected secretions used in olfactory communication behavior (K. A. Alexander, C. E. Sanderson, M. H. Larsen, S. Robbe-Austerman, M. C. Williams, and M. V. Palmer, mBio 7(3):e00281-16, 2016, http://dx.doi.org/10.1128/mBio.00281-16). We announce here the draft genome sequence of this emerging pathogen.
蒙氏分枝杆菌是一种结核分枝杆菌复合群病原体，已在博茨瓦纳北部和津巴布韦西北部的带状猫鼬中出现。该病原体通过嗅觉交流行为中使用的受感染分泌物传播（K. A. 亚历山大、C. E. 桑德森、M. H. 拉森、S. 罗布 - 奥斯特曼、M. C. 威廉姆斯和M. V. 帕尔默，《mBio》7(3):e00281 - 16，2016年，http://dx.doi.org/10.1128/mBio.00281 - 16）。我们在此公布这种新出现病原体的基因组序列草图。
