Evolutionary and genomic insights into the long-term colonization of Shigella flexneri in animals

The enteroinvasive bacterium Shigella flexneri is known as a highly host-adapted human pathogen. There had been no known other reservoirs reported until recently. Here 34 isolates obtained from animals (yaks, dairy cows and beef cattle) from 2016 to 2017 and 268 human S. flexneri isolates from China...
