## Abstract

Limosilactobacillus reuteri is a lactic acid bacterium with several probiotic properties. Here, we present the draft genome sequence of L. reuteri isolated from the porcine ileum with a genome size of 2.1 Mb. The average genome sequence had a G + C content of 43.71% with 113 contigs, 54 RNA, and 2,012 protein-coding sequences.
