. The agency also reported that 5% of all infections in 2022 were extensively drug-resistant — a jump from zero drug-resistant cases in 2015.
An infection is considered XDR when it doesn’t respond to antibiotics that are typically used to treat it, such as azithromycin, ciprofloxacin and ceftriaxone, among others. “XDR shigellosis is resistant to all generally recommended antibiotics in the United States, making it difficult to treat,” according to the new report. XDR shigellosis is a serious public health threat: XDRbacteria have limited antimicrobial treatment options, are easily transmissible, and can spread antimicrobial resistance genes to other enteric bacteria.
This illustration made available by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows the Shigella bacteria.Healthcare providers “should understand the nuances of testing and managing infections, especially when treating patients from populations at increased risk of drug-resistant shigellosis including: young children; gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men; people experiencing homelessness; international travelers; and people living with HIV.

Another health alert. Imagine that.
What happened to monkey pox eh?
Riiiiiight nice try
It seems to impact people that intentionally interact with feces
Monkey Pox that shit
Ivermectin works
I told you bugs carry diseases. Stop eating the crickets
Garlic
The failure of Monkeypox and Kraken are creating all sorts of new 'health alerts'. It's over.
And also, stay away from Gas Station Sushi. You will be fine 💯💯💯
Pepto Bismol or Alka Seltzer will work fine. Stop with the hysterics
Most stomach bugs are viruses and aren’t treated with medication anyways 🥱
Antibiotics over-prescribing and usage in animal feed (supposedly illegal now) has caused the drug resistance
Boil cinnamon sticks in water for 10 minutes, remove from heat and let steep for 5 minutes, pour liquid into a glass with whatever flavoring (honey, lemon, etc). Stops nausea and vomiting very quickly and helps stop diarrhea 😊
Gay and homeless affected the most?
Another one of those viruses that’s so deadly you might have it with 0 symptoms. 🙄
they're desperate to make people scared asf again 🤣🤣🤣🤣
All adults must wear diapers in public!
💩
All the people in the media: “well, is it a bit too early to get the fear engines up and running again now that an election is coming up?”. Also, why does NY Post sound like MSNBC half of the time now?
It’s called democrats bug
More scare tactics. Predictable.
Lemme guess, pfizer has just the drug to get rid of it?
I think we'll be alright.
No different than 2015....move along
So the bought-and-paid-for CDC thinks it still has credibility?
It’s just Taco Bell.
Better take at least 5 shots of vaccine.
Enough with the disease fear mongering. All this crying wolf is going to cause everyone to ignore the real threats if ever they come.
How is Shihella spreading in NY you ask? Ingesting poop during sexual contact with someone with a recent infection. notmymonkeys notmycircus
Doodie
Sounds like a perfect candidate for Ivermectin.
I just hope we can create a vaccine with billions of tax dollars that doesn’t work but force millions of Americans to take it anyway. Just like the Fauci-Ouchi
