Draft Genome Sequence of Mycobacterium ulcerans S4018 Isolated from a Patient with an Active Buruli Ulcer in Benin, Africa

摘要

Currently, there are only two publicly available genomes of Mycobacterium ulcerans—the causative agent of the neglected, but devastating, tropical disease Buruli ulcer. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of isolate S4018, recovered from an active cutaneous lesion of a patient with Buruli ulcer in Benin, Africa.
