Increased invasive bloodstream infections caused by multidrug resistant Shigella sonnei were noted in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, during 2021-2023. Whole-genome sequencing revealed clonal transmission of genotype 3.6.1.1.2 (CipR.MSM5) among persons experiencing homelessness. Improvements in identifying Shigella species, expanding treatment options for multidrug resistant infections, and developing public health partnerships are needed.
在 2021 年至 2023 年期间,加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省温哥华市注意到由多重耐药福氏志贺菌引起的侵袭性血流感染增加。全基因组测序显示,无家可归者中存在基因型 3.6.1.1.2(CipR.MSM5)的克隆传播。需要改进志贺菌属的鉴定方法、扩大耐药感染的治疗选择,并建立公共卫生合作伙伴关系。
