Clostridium neonatale is a Gram-positive endospore-forming obligate anaerobe first isolated from the feces of premature neonates during an intensive care unit outbreak of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in a Canadian neonatal intensive care unit. Here, we announce the genome draft sequence of this bacterium. It is composed of 4,710,818 bp and contains 4,169 protein-coding genes and 80 RNA genes, including 11 rRNA genes.
