We present the draft genome sequence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain 43-16836, belonging to Indo-Oceanic lineage, isolated from a tuberculous meningitis patient in Thailand. The is 4,381,942 bp long with 4,316 protein-coding genes and contains new single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), including SNPs that may encode cell wall components possibly influence virulence.
