Abstract
Mycobacterium xenopi
is a slow-growing, thermophilic, water-related
Mycobacterium
species. Like other nontuberculous mycobacteria,
M. xenopi
more commonly infects humans with altered immune function, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients. It is considered clinically relevant in a significant proportion of the patients from whom it is isolated. We report here the whole genome sequence of
M. xenopi
type strain RIVM700367.
