Draft Genome Sequence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Strain WS136, a Highly Cytotoxic ExoS-Positive Wound Isolate Recovered from Pyoderma Gangrenosum

ABSTRACT Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that typically infects patients with a compromised immune defense. Here, we present the improved 6.5-Mb draft genome of strain WS136, an ExoS-positive and ExoU-negative highly cytotoxic chronic wound isolate recovered from pyoderma gangrenosum of a patient who received bone marrow transplantation.
