Clonal serotype 1c multidrug-resistant Shigella flexneri detected in multiple institutions by sentinel-site sequencing

Shigella flexneri is a major diarrhoeal pathogen, and the emergence of multidrug-resistant S. flexneri is of public health concern. We report the detection of a clonal cluster of multidrug-resistant serotype 1c (7a) S. flexneri in Singapore in April 2022. Long-read whole-genome sequence analysis fou...
