Bacillus anthracis, classified as a Tier 1 Select Agent by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is the causative agent of anthrax in both humans and livestock. Herein, we report the full genome sequences of 13 bacteriophages that infect B. anthracis Sterne. These phages are grouped into four clusters and are similar to previously described Bacillus phages.
