Abstract

We report here the draft genome sequences of five Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates obtained from sputum samples from two cystic fibrosis patients with chronic colonization. These closely related strains harbor 225 to 493 genes absent from the P. aeruginosa POA1 genome and contain 178 to 179 virulence factors and 29 to 31 antibiotic resistance genes.
