Bartonella bacilliformis is the biological agent of Carrion’s disease, a vector-borne, life-threatening human bartonellosis restricted to South America. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of B. bacilliformis KC584 (ATCC 35686). Although it is commonly used as a reference strain, to date, its complete genome has not been published.
