Laboratory diagnosis of enteroinvasive Escherichia coli (EIEC) remains difficult and limits the availability of EIEC genomes to the research community. We report the draft genome sequences of three EIEC strains which represent three distinct sequence types and serotypes circulating in Asia Pacific and causing enterocolitis in humans.
