Drug resistant shigella
Definition
A strain of the Shigella bacterium, which causes shigellosis (a severe form of dysentery), that has developed resistance to one or more antibiotics, making infections harder to treat and contributing to public health challenges.
Pathogenic bacteria of the genus Shigella exhibiting multidrug resistance, often spread through contaminated food or water, particularly in areas with poor sanitation.
