Genome sequences of Mycobacterium sp. Elmwood and accompanying phage, isolated from a public swimming pool in Nebraska.

Genome sequencing of a non-tuberculosis Mycobacterium species, isolated from a public pool, shows that the genome contains several genes for antibiotic resistance and anti-phage defense, which are absent from other related Mycobacteria. Metagenomic binning also provided the genome of the accompanying phage, which is distinct from other mycobacterial phages.
