Mycobacterium tuberculosis , the etiological agent of tuberculosis, is one of the most devastating infectious agents in the world. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of the M. tuberculosis protein tyrosine kinase ( ptkA ) deletion mutant and its parental strain H37Rv, which are used in genetic studies and for drug discovery.
