CDC: Antibiotic Resistant Shigella Becoming Higher Risk in US
The CDC’s latest analysis shows a sharp rise in extensively drug‑resistant (XDR) Shigella infections in the United States, climbing from 0% of isolates in 2011‑2015 to 8.5% in 2023. Of the 510 XDR isolates identified, two‑thirds were Shigella sonnei and one‑third Shigella flexneri.

No FDA‑approved oral antibiotics currently treat these XDR strains, prompting urgent calls for enhanced surveillance and prevention.
