## TL;DR

This paper presents the draft genome of a Mycobacterium avium complex strain from a sepsis patient in Thailand, revealing it as a distinct taxon.

## Contribution

The study provides a new draft genome sequence of a Mycobacterium avium complex isolate from a clinical sample in Thailand.

## Key findings

- The draft genome sequence was obtained from a Mycobacterium avium complex isolate from a sepsis patient in Thailand.
- Genomic analysis shows the isolate represents a distinct taxon within the MAC group.

## Abstract

We report the draft genome sequence of Mycobacterium avium complex isolate cultured from the blood of a patient in Thailand. Genomic features analysis indicates that this strain represents a distinct taxon within the MAC group.
