## Abstract

Here we present the complete genome sequence of Chryseobacterium scophthalmum LGBM4 isolated from a red-backed salamander in Rugar Woods, Plattsburgh, NY, USA. The assembled genome comprises a 4.3 Mb chromosome with a guanine-cytosine content of 33.5%. The genome of LGBM4 encodes several antibiotic resistance and heavy metal detoxification genes.
