Abstract excerpt
The global dissemination of a ciprofloxacin-resistant (cipR) S. sonnei clone outlines the mobility of this important agent of diarrheal disease, and threatens the utility of ciprofloxacin as a first-line antimicrobial for shigellosis. Here, we aimed to track the emergence of cipR S. sonnei in Vietnam to understand how novel antimicrobial resistant (AMR) Shigella clones become established in new locations. From...
