Whole genome sequence of Tsukamurella tyrosinosolvens extracted from metagenome of human pleural fluid enriched in Mycobacteria Growth Indicator Tube.

Misdiagnosis of emerging pathogen Tsukamurella tyrosinosolvens is common due to phenotypic similarity with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). We report a high-quality, near-complete genome of T. tyrosinosolvens from pleural fluid enriched in Mycobacteria Growth Indicator Tube. The genome of this clinically successful strain can be studied to understand pathogenesis and diagnostic challenges.
