RESUMEN
Here, we report the draft genome sequences of 15 Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates of the Beijing-B0/W-148 sublineage that carry a 7-bp insertion within the pks15 gene, which leads to the synthesis of Pks15/1 fusion protein. Pks15/1 is involved in phenolglycolipid synthesis and biofilm formation, thus potentially contributing to the B0/W-148 lineage's enhanced virulence and drug resistance.
