Abstract

Salmonella enterica subsp. diarizonae serotypes are primarily involved in reptile-associated salmonellosis in humans. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of three S. enterica subsp. diarizonae strains belonging to the serotype IIIb_61:1,v:1,5,(7), isolated from wheat grains collected at the time of harvest. Strains of serotype IIIb_61:1,v:1,5,(7) have been isolated from feces of reptiles, cattle, and sheep and from infections in humans.
