Abstract

We present the complete genome sequences of three Helicobacter pylori strains isolated from patients who resided in Tolima Department, Colombia, diagnosed with chronic gastritis. The genomes present an average length of 1.6 Mbp and 1,546 genes and correspond to different H. pylori subpopulations.
