HIGHLIGHTS
SUMMARY
The genus Mycobacterium encompasses strict pathogenic species such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis that causes tuberculosis as well as species considered to be purely environmental, e_g, Mycobacterium chlorophenolicum and Mycobacterium chubuense. Several mycobacteria cause opportunistic infections e_g, in immunocompromised hosts, and are referred to as opportunistic pathogens and Refs therein. For simplicity, the authors name the different mycobacteria as, e_g, M. marinum throughout the text since the authors mainly discuss the Mycobacterium genus. For 6 mycobacteria, the authors did not detect any phage-derived sequences, e_g, M. leprae and M. lepromatosis in the M. haemophilum clade . . .
