Draft Genome Sequences of Multidrug-Resistant Shigella Strains Isolated from Diarrheal Patients in Bangladesh.

The emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Shigella strains has impaired the efficacy of first-line antimicrobials and exacerbated diarrhea-associated morbidity and mortality worldwide. We report the draft genome sequences of 11 MDR Shigella strains isolated from the stool specimens of diarrheal patients in Bangladesh.
