#Shigella remains a significant #publichealth issue both in 🇬🇧 & globally. It is one of the leading causes of bloody diarrhoea worldwide & drug-resistant strains are an increasing concern.
Explainable AI-SERS Approach for Highly Accurate Discrimination of Escherichia coli Pathotypes & Shigella Species.
XAI–SERS enables rapid, accurate, interpretable identification of #Ecoli pathotypes & #Shigella despite close relatedness.

"The authors of the study say XDR Shigella isolates carrying both resistance genes have not been reported before."
There has been an increase in cases of Shigella across the South West. Shigella is a gut infection that is passed on through close contact, including sexual contact. Symptoms include diarrhoea, stomach cramps, fever & nausea.

#Shigella species are often intrinsically resistant to multiple antibiotics including ampicillin, trimethroprim-sulfamethoxazole and quinolones, and reduced susceptibility to azithromycin is now being reported around the world
#shigella #sonnei, along with S. flexneri serotypes 2a and 3a, are the strains most frequently implicated in outbreaks in MSM populations
#shigella healthcare workers, antibiotic therapy is recommended to reduce the duration of disease and decrease the risk of continued transmission.
In patients with normal immune function: #shigella generally self-limited, resolving after 7d on average; however, pt remain infectious for upto 4wk as pathogens continue to be shed in feces. reportable illness &documentation of stool culture clearance required in food-handlers
