MDR Shigella sonnei in Spain: an ever-evolving emerging threat?

ABSTRACT:

Background

Seven CTX-M-27-producing Shigella sonnei strains were isolated at the University Hospital Virgen del Rocío (Seville, Spain) microbiology service from October to November 2021.

Objectives

To offer extensive information on the microbiological and molecular epidemiology results of the seven S. sonnei isolates and compare them with other previously documented CTX-M-27-producing S. sonnei associated with MSM transmission.

Methods

S. sonnei isolated from stool samples of patients with acute diarrhoea were identified through biochemical and serological typing. Whole characterization of the seven isolates was performed by sequencing with MinION Mk1C followed by genomic and molecular analysis.

Results

All the isolates were resistan
