Abstract

Human activities contribute to the contamination of drinking water sources, thereby impacting both the quality of the water and the composition of the bacterial communities present. We report the draft genome sequences of two pathogenic heterotrophic Bacillus bombysepticus strains harboring various antibiotic resistance genes; the strains were isolated from distribution water in South Africa.
