Previous case reports indicate Arcanobacterium's opportunistic pathogenic potential. However, the true diversity of the genus remains understudied. Here, we present the complete genome of Arcanobacterium wilhelmae isolated from a diseased rhinoceros, suspected to play a role in its condition. These genomic data may enable future advancements in understanding Arcanobacterium pathogenicity.
Keywords: Arcanobacterium wilhelmae; Rhinoceros unicornis.
