Retrospective identification of pathogenic mycobacterial species in fish: Mycobacterium pseudoshottsii YM-3, isolated from a yellowtail fish in 1986 in Kochi, Japan

The complete genome sequence of mycobacterial strain YM-3, isolated from cultured yellowtail in 1986, was determined. The strain was Mycobacterium pseudoshottsii, a closely related subspecies of Mycobacterium marinum, so the strain was isolated earlier than the first report of the subspecies in 2005.
