Abstract

Mycobacterium gordonae is a nontuberculous mycobacterium found in diverse environments and is considered an opportunistic pathogen in immunocompromised patients. We report the draft genome sequence of a Mycobacterium gordonae strain isolated from a free-living amoeba found in a nosocomial environment in Lima, Peru.
