title: Draft Genome Sequence of a Drug-Susceptible New Zealand Isolate of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Lineage 3.
abstract: We report here the draft whole-genome sequence of a drug-susceptible lineage 3 (East-African Indian) isolate of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from New Zealand (NZ3DS1) and compare it to a multidrug-resistant lineage 3 isolate (NZ3MDR1) with an identical 24-locus mycobacterial interspersed repetitive-unit-variable-number tandem-repeat profile.
