The Burden and Genomic Characterization of <i>Shigella</i> -Associated Diarrhea in Children Under Five in Lusaka, Zambia: A Prospective Cohort Study

2026-05-21

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Shigella is a leading cause of childhood diarrhea in low- and middle-income countries and is increasingly resistant to first-line antibiotics. We conducted a surveillance study to determine the incidence, genomic characteristics, and AMR profiles of Shigella infections in children under five with moderate to severe diarrhea (MSD) in Lusaka, Zambia. <h4>Methods</h4> Between 15 September 2020...
