Abstract

The genus Klebsiella includes pathogenic and nonpathogenic species. We report the 5.57-Mb genome sequences of two Klebsiella variicola strains, G18-1365 and G18-1376, isolated from symptomatic plantain plants in Haiti. These strains are genetically closely related (average nucleotide identity [ANI] > 99%) to the previously described type strain of K. variicola, DSM 15968.
