Abstract

Antimicrobial resistance has become a primary concern in clinical and public health. Escherichia coli is one of the bacteria that carries and disseminates antimicrobial resistance genes to the community. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of three multidrug-resistant E. coli strains that were isolated from river water in Malaysia.
