Draft Genome Sequence of Mycobacterium montefiorense Isolated from Japanese Black Salamander (Hynobius nigrescens)

is a member of the complex, the largest group of nontuberculous mycobacteria. Here, we report the genome sequence of isolate BS, isolated from diseased Japanese black salamander ( ) reared in an aquarium in Japan. This is the first reported case of an infection in an amphibian.
