Mycobacterium orygis strain:MUHC/MB/EPTB/Orygis/51145 Genome sequencing. Mycobacterium orygis strain:MUHC/MB/EPTB/Orygis/51145

Mycobacterium orygis (M. orygis) a newly described MTBC member is known to cause infection in wide range of hosts including animals and humans (Van Ingen 2012). Identification of M. orygis from human highlight the need for implementation programmes, policies and research to achieve better public health outcomes and to combat this zoonoses. Considering this, we sequenced the complete genome of M. orygis for the first time, which in future will aid in understanding the genetic features and epidemiology of this human and veterinary pathogen.
