Functional Analysis Using Whole-Genome Sequencing of a Drug-Sensitive Mycobacterium tuberculosis Strain from Peru

Genome Announc. 2014 Feb 27;2(1):e00087-14. doi: 10.1128/genomeA.00087-14.

Abstract

We report the whole-genome sequence of a Latin American-Mediterranean (LAM) lineage drug-sensitive Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain from Peru, INS-SEN. The functional analysis revealed more mutations in secondary metabolite biosynthesis, transport, and catabolism (clusters of orthologous groups [COG] category Q) than for other LAM-sensitive strains. This study contributes to the understanding of the genomic diversity of drug-sensitive M. tuberculosis.
