Complete genome sequence of a virulent barcoded <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> str. Erdman commonly used for non-human primate infection studies
<i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> is the etiologic agent of tuberculosis (TB), which claims over a million lives per year. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of a virulent barcoded <i>M. tuberculosis</i> Erdman strain that has been used extensively for non-human primate infection research studies, characterized using long- and short-read technologies.
