## TL;DR

This paper provides the draft genome sequence of Vibrio cholerae strains causing cholera outbreaks in Ethiopia.

## Contribution

The study contributes the first draft genome sequences of V. cholerae O1 strains isolated from clinical cases in Ethiopia.

## Key findings

- Draft genome sequences of V. cholerae O1 strains were obtained from clinical samples in Ethiopia.
- The data can be used for understanding the genetic basis of cholera outbreaks in the region.

## Abstract

Cholera is an acute diarrheal disease caused by Vibrio cholerae. Low-income countries, including Ethiopia, have been attacked by repeated outbreaks. Here, we present the draft genome sequence of V. cholerae O1 strains isolated from clinical samples in Ethiopia.
