We report the draft genome sequences of three Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates recovered from Panamanian residents belonging to the Indo-Oceanic (Lineage 1) and West African (Lineage 5) lineages. These isolates exhibit various drug-resistance profiles, including rifampicin-resistant and multidrug-resistant phenotypes. This highlights the changing molecular epidemiology of tuberculosis in Central America.
