title: Complete Genome Sequences of 17 Rapidly Growing Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Strains.
abstract: We report the complete genome sequences of 17 rapidly growing nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) strains, including 16 Mycobacterium abscessus complex strains and one M. immunogenum strain. These sequences add value to studies of the genetic diversity of rapidly growing NTM strains recovered from human specimens.
