    Drug-Resistant Diarrhea Bug Spreads Through Sex in US

    A drug-resistant strain of Shigella, a bacteria typically associated with contaminated food and water, is increasingly being transmitted sexually in the US. Cases of extensively drug-resistant (XDR) Shigella have risen from 0% in 2011 to 8.5% in 2023. The infection is predominantly affecting adult men, with California reporting about one case per month. Experts attribute this to unawareness of sexual transmission and antibiotic use for other infections.
