## Abstract

Mycobacterium abscessus is an opportunistic mycobacterium, frequently associated with non-tuberculous mycobacterial infections. Whole genome sequencing facilitates a comprehensive understanding of an organism’s genetic makeup and is crucial for therapeutics and disease control. Therefore, we present the whole genome sequence of M. abscessus with a genomic size of 4,781,464 bp and a GC content of 64.18%.

## Linked entities

- **Species:** Bos gaurus (taxon 9904)

## Full-text entities

- **Diseases:** non (MESH:C580335), tuberculous mycobacterial infections (MESH:D009165)
- **Species:** Mycobacteroides abscessus (species) [taxon 36809]
