## TL;DR

This paper announces the draft genome sequences of four Bacillus anthracis strains found in soil from a historic tannery site in Austria.

## Contribution

The study provides new draft genome sequences of B. anthracis isolates from a unique environmental source.

## Key findings

- Four B. anthracis isolates were obtained from soil samples at a historic tannery site.
- Draft genome sequences of these isolates were generated and are now available for further analysis.

## Abstract

In this announcement, we present the draft genomes of four Bacillus anthracis isolates, MH-MFM, MH-VW, MH-PR, and MH-JJ, originating from soil samples retrieved from a sludge disposal site of a historic tannery site in Upper Austria.
