DRP008017
Mycobacterium kiyosense sp. nov., scotochromogenic Mycobacterium gordonae complex species isolated from sputum.
A slowly growing,  mycobacterial strain IWGMT90018-18076 was first reported by Wayne et al. in 1996.  Here we report the complete genome sequence of IWGMT90018-18076 and we propose the novel species as Mycobacterium kiyosense sp. nov., classified into Mycobacterium gordonae complex.
