Abstract
ABSTRACT This study reports the complete and draft genomes of 71 Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from the Philippines. Hybrid assembly using Illumina and Nanopore sequencing produced six complete genomes, while others had 2–422 contigs. These data enhance understanding of M. tuberculosis diversity and drug resistance, supporting targeted treatment strategies.
