Abstract

We report the whole genome sequences of a Mycobacterium smegmatis laboratory wild-type strain (MC(2) 155) and mutants (4XR1, 4XR2) resistant to isoniazid. Compared to Mycobacterium smegmatis MC(2) 155 (NC_008596), a widely used strain in laboratory experiments, the MC(2) 155, 4XR1, and 4XR2 strains are 60, 128 and 93 bp longer, respectively.
