Abstract

ABSTRACT Mycobacterium lepromatosis is a newly discovered cause of leprosy. Here, we present a near-complete genome of M. lepromatosis from strain FJ924 obtained from a patient who died of leprosy. The genome contained 3,215,823 nucleotides and matched ~87% with the Mycobacterium leprae genome. This genome is likely the smallest of all mycobacterial genomes known to date.
