Abstract
The spread of multidrug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis (TB) has become a
major global challenge. In 2016, Tasmania recorded its first known incidence of
MDR-TB. Here, we report the draft whole-genome sequence of the Mycobacterium
tuberculosis isolate from this case, TASMDR1, and describe single-nucleotide polymorphisms
associated with its drug resistance.
