A rapidly-growing strain of Shigella could lead to more hospitalisations and deaths, officials say.
US health officials are warning of a rise in a strain of a drug-resistant stomach bug that infects thousands of Americans each year.
The inability to treat infections with medication led health officials to call it a "serious public health threat".In a statement on Friday, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that while none of the infections recorded in 2015 were tied to the Shigella XDR strain, 5% of cases were linked to it in 2022.
Many cases can be managed through proper hydration and rest. Officials say it can be prevented by frequent hand washing. Currently, it causes less than five deaths in the US per year.
