## Abstract

We present the draft genome sequence of Legionella lytica strain DSB2004 isolated from a fire sprinkler system. The size of the genome is 3,983,660 bp, consisting of 3,626 coding sequences and a GC content of 40.3%. Genomic analysis identified genes encoding a type IV secretion system and proteins for flagellar motility.
