First Whole-Genome Sequence of a Clinical Isolate of Multidrug-Resistant Mycobacterium bovis BCG

The attenuated BCG strain of Mycobacterium bovis is widely used as a vaccine against tuberculosis. However, in rare cases, it can be pathogenic to humans. Here, we report the first draft of a whole-genome sequence of a multidrug-resistant clinical isolate of M. bovis BCG.
