Abstract

Mycobacterium avium subsp. hominissuis (MAH) is one of the most important agents causing non-tuberculosis mycobacterial infection in human and pigs. Genome analysis on MAH of human isolates has been proceeding, however, those of pigs are limited despite its potential source of infection to human. Here, we isolated MAH from pig lymph nodes or livers and obtained their genomes.
