Draft Genome Sequences of Two Putatively Novel Mycobacterium Species Isolated from Northern Snakeheads (Channa argus) Inhabiting the Potomac River Catchment

July 14, 2025

We report two draft genomes of previously undescribed Mycobacterium spp. isolated from invasive Northern snakehead (Channa argus) inhabiting the Chesapeake Bay Watershed, USA. The average nucleotide identity between these isolates and other available genomes was <91%, suggesting they are different unassigned species from the same host.
