We report the draft genome sequence of Clostridium botulinum strain 277-00, which encodes a botulinum neurotoxin B2 associated with a ha gene locus. Strain 277-00 was isolated from a cheese responsible for an outbreak of botulism in Iran in 1997. This strain is closed to the bivalent B2/FA strain IBCA10-7060.
