Here we report the complete, accurate 1.89-Mb genome sequence ofFrancisella tularensis subsp.holarctica strain FSC200, isolated in 1998 in the Swedish municipality Ljusdal, which is in an area where tularemia is highly endemic. This genome is important because strain FSC200 has been extensively used for functional and genetic studies ofFrancisella and is well-characterized.
