Abstract

Here, we report the first genome sequence of Pasteurella multocida BAUTB2 isolated from a buffalo that died from hemorrhagic septicemia in Rajshahi, Bangladesh. Using Illumina HiSeq technology, the BAUTB2 genome length was determined to be 2,439,149 bp, with 40.8% GC content, 2,307 coding sequences (CDS), 6 rRNAs, 51 tRNAs, and 4 noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs).
