Abstract

Acholeplasma laidlawii can be isolated from cattle environments and different body sites of bovines. It is still under evaluation if A. laidlawii acts as a primary pathogen. Here, we present the whole-genome sequence of A. laidlawii isolated from the conjunctiva of a heifer with infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis.
