## TL;DR

This study analyzes the genomes of multiple enteric pathogens found together in children with diarrhea.

## Contribution

The study provides genomic data from polymicrobial infections in pediatric diarrhea cases.

## Key findings

- Genomes of Escherichia coli, Shigella spp., and Aeromonas spp. were sequenced from four subjects.
- The isolates came from polymicrobial infections in the Global Enteric Multicenter Study.

## Abstract

The majority of human enteric infections are not caused by a single pathogen. We describe the genomes of Escherichia coli, Shigella spp., and Aeromonas spp. isolates from polymicrobial infections in four subjects enrolled in the Global Enteric Multicenter Study.
