## TL;DR

This paper presents the full genome sequence of a new Mycobacterium species found in a Japanese individual with a weakened immune system.

## Contribution

The study provides the first complete genome sequence of a newly identified Mycobacterium species.

## Key findings

- The genome sequence was obtained from a Japanese individual with hematological malignancy.
- The data will aid in future phylogenetic and comparative genome studies.
- It offers insights into the evolution of the pathogen.

## Abstract

Here, we report the complete genome sequencing of a new Mycobacterium sp. nov. from a compromised Japanese individual with hematological malignancy. This will represent the essential data for future phylogenetic and comparative genome studies and will be useful for better understanding the evolution of the pathogen.

## Full-text entities

- **Diseases:** hematological malignancy (MESH:D019337)
- **Species:** Mycobacterium sp. (species) [taxon 1785]
