Draft Genome Sequence Of Mycobacteroides Sp. Strain Lb1, Isolated From The Sputum Of A Cystic Fibrosis Patient

We report the draft genome sequence of Mycobacteroides sp. strain LB1, isolated from the sputum of a cystic fibrosis patient in Berlin, Germany. The genome size is 4.9 Mbp with a GC content of 63.8%. The genome is only distantly related to other Mycobacteroides species, suggesting that it may represent a novel species.
