title: Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolate MT0002
organism: Mycobacterium tuberculosis
description: An outbreak of tuberculosis (n=41) occurred between 2006 and 2008 in a medium-sized British Columbia community. All cultured isolates had identical MIRU-VNTR patterns. The complete genomes of 32 M. tuberculosis outbreak isolates and four isolates with matching genotypes isolated in the region prior to the outbreak were sequenced using Illumina short read sequencing.
