Background/Objectives: Bartonella apihabitans strain EK0718 is a notable nonpathogenic member of the Bartonella genus, distinguished by its absence from the core components of the bee microbiome. This highlights its unique role and the complexity of microbial interactions within bee ecosystems. Methods: In this study, we present the new draft genome of the B. apihabitans strain EK0718 from bees, generated from Illumina reads using the SPAdes assembler. Results: The assembled genome has a total size of 2.643257 Mb. Annotation of the B. apihabitans strain EK0718 genome assembly revealed 2,305 genes, including 2,248 protein-coding genes and 57 RNA genes. Conclusions: This genome serves as a valuable resource for enhancing our understanding of Bartonella genetics and evolution, as well as studying how microorganisms evolve from nonpathogenic to pathogenic forms.
