Abstract

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is known to cause persistent bloodstream infections associated with left ventricular assist devices (LVAD). Here, we present the high-quality draft genome assembly for a clinical isolate, P. aeruginosa 268. The genome sequence is available in GenBank under accession number CP032761.
