Complete genome sequence data for <i>Mycobacterium</i> sp. Panama NTM2, an isolate recovered from a tuberculosis patient in Panama

We report the complete genome sequence of <i>Mycobacterium</i> sp. strain Panama NTM2, isolated from a sputum sample of a patient with pulmonary tuberculosis in Panama. The 5,922,402-bp genome (68% GC) was assembled into five contigs containing 5,703 protein-coding genes. FastANI identified <i>Mycobacterium kyogaense</i> NCTC 11659 as the closest relative (88.13% ANI), suggesting Panama NTM2 represents a novel species within the genus.
