Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase Shigella Sonnei Cluster Among Men Who Have Sex with Men in Chicago, Illinois-July-October 2022

Abstract

Drug-resistant shigellosis is increasing, particularly among men who have sex with men (MSM). During July-October 2022, an extended-spectrum beta-lactamase producing Shigella sonnei cluster of 9 patients was identified in Chicago, of whom 8 were MSM and 6 were festival attendees. The cluster also included 4 domestic travelers to Chicago. Sexual health care for MSM should include shigellosis diagnosis and prevention.
