Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is the most common cause of urinary tract infection (UTI). This disease disproportionately affects women and frequently develops into recurrent UTI (rUTI) in postmenopausal women. Here, we report the complete genome sequences of seven UPEC isolates obtained from the urine of postmenopausal women with rUTI.
