Abstract

Legionella pneumophila outbreak investigations require the development of reliable typing methods to better understand the genetic relationships of the isolates involved. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of four clinical Legionella pneumophila isolates obtained between 2000 and 2012 in Ontario, Canada.
