Recurrent urinary tract infection (rUTI) poses a major health issue, especially among postmenopausal women. We report complete genome sequences of three Klebsiella quasipneumoniae strains isolated from the urine of postmenopausal women with rUTI. K. quasipneumoniae is a recently identified Klebsiella species with clinical and virulence characteristics distinct from those of K. pneumoniae.
