Informing shigellosis prevention and control through pathogen genomics

2021-06-09

Abstract excerpt

Shigella spp. are the leading bacterial cause of severe childhood diarrhoea in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), are increasingly antimicrobial resistant and have no licensed vaccine. We performed genomic analyses of 1246 systematically collected shigellae from seven LMIC to inform control and identify factors that could limit the effectiveness of current approaches. We found that S. sonnei contributes ≥20...
