ABSTRACT Shigella species frequently cause bacillary dysentery and remain a major public health concern in low- and middle-income countries. We report draft genomes of 22 Senegalese Shigella isolates including S. sonnei , S. flexneri , and S. boydii . Genome sizes range from 4.34 to 5.54 Mb, with GC contents ranging from 50.25% to 50.73%. These data provide a resource for genomic epidemiology and antimicrobial resistance of Shigella in West Africa.
