Abstract

We report here the draft genome sequences of four Mycobacterium chelonae strains from biofilms subjected to a "chlorine burn" in a chloraminated drinking water distribution system simulator. These opportunistic pathogens have been detected in hospital and municipal water distribution systems, in which biofilms have been recognized as an important factor for their persistence.
