Delving into the genome of resurged Shigella dysenteriae Type 1
This study finding reveals genomic changes and rising AMR in Sd1, underscoring its potential epidemic implications and the need to strengthen systematic surveillance. With the increasing reports on the incidence of Shigella spp from animals, foods of animal origin and food handlers, Sd1 is becoming a significant concern within the global one health framework. The identification of an epidemic causing S. dysenteriae Type 1 calls for timely action from health authorities to implement targeted interventions and ensure updated medical and policy responses remain updated and responsive.
