Complete Genome Sequence of Mycobacterium chelonae Type Strain CCUG 47445, a Rapidly Growing Species of Nontuberculous Mycobacteria

Abstract: Mycobacterium chelonae strains are ubiquitous rapidly growing mycobacteria associated with skin and soft tissue infections, cellulitis, abscesses, osteomyelitis, catheter infections, disseminated diseases, and postsurgical infections after implants with prostheses, transplants, and even hemodialysis procedures. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of M. chelonae type strain CCUG 47445.

“…Parenteral antibiotics against Mycobacterium chelonae include tobramycin, amikacin, imipenem, and tigecycline, but it has demonstrated resistance to antibiotics and disinfectants (Brown-Elliott et al, 2012;Jaén-Luchoro et al, 2016). This property assists Mycobacterium chelonae in colonizing water systems and allows its access to humans (Jaén-Luchoro et al, 2016). Till now, no specific guidelines for the treatment of Mycobacterium chelonae have been defined in the literature (Gonzalez-Santiago and Drage, 2015).…”
