## TL;DR

This paper presents the draft genome sequences of three uropathogenic E. coli strains isolated from senior citizens and pregnant women in Mexico.

## Contribution

The study provides new genomic data for uropathogenic E. coli strains from underrepresented populations in Mexico.

## Key findings

- Draft genome sequences of three UPEC strains were successfully generated.
- The strains were isolated from senior citizens and pregnant women in Puebla, Mexico.

## Abstract

Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) remains the main etiological agent of urinary tract infections affecting females and males. The draft genome sequence of three strains of UPEC isolated from senior citizens and pregnant women in the state of Puebla, Mexico, is reported here.
