We announce the draft genome sequence of Borrelia crocidurae (strain Achema). The 1,557,560-bp genome (27% GC content) comprises one 919,477-bp linear chromosome and 638,083-bp plasmids that together carry 1,472 open reading frames, 32 tRNAs, and three complete rRNAs, with almost complete colinearity between B. crocidurae and Borrelia duttonii chromosomes.
