Here, we report the draft genome sequences of 63 ITALIC! Pseudomonas aeruginosaisolates, recovered in culture of sputum from 15 individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF) receiving care in a single CF care center over a 13-year period. These sequences add value to studies of within-host evolution of bacterial pathogens during chronic infection.
