Here, we report the draft genome sequence of the Gram-negative strain Klebsiella pneumoniae RYC492, which produces the amyloid-forming and antibacterial peptide microcin E492. The sequenced genome consists of a 5,095,761-bp assembled open chromosome where the gene cluster for microcin production is located in a putative 31-kb genomic island flanked by sequence repeats and containing a putative integrase-coding gene.
