Evaluating Genomic Surveillance Methods for <i>Shigella sonnei</i> in a High-Income Setting

2026-05-12

Abstract excerpt

Shigella sonnei is a human-adapted enteric pathogen with a very low infectious dose and increasing antimicrobial resistance. In high-income settings, transmission is multimodal including sporadic cases/outbreaks associated with food and travel, as well as sustained transmission among sexual networks of men who have sex with men (MSM). Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) now underpins national shigellosis surveillance in...
