Shigellosis, a diarrheal disease caused by Shigella species, is a significant public health concern, particularly in developing countries with inadequate sanitation systems. This study aimed to investigate the patterns of antibiotic resistance, ESBL and AmpC genes, integrons, and enterotoxin genes in Shigella species isolated from patients with gastroenteritis in Northeast Iran. This cross-sectional study was conducted between January 2017 and December 2019 at a tertiary care hospital in Northeast Iran.

Article Synopsis
- Shigellosis is a major health issue in Ethiopia, particularly affecting young children, and is exacerbated by antimicrobial resistance due to misuse of antibiotics and poor hygiene.
- The study utilized whole genome sequencing (WGS) to examine Shigella sonnei strains in Addis Ababa, focusing on antibiotic resistance genes and plasmid types associated with these strains.
- Findings showed a variety of resistance genes and phenotypic resistance patterns, indicating significant genetic diversity in S. sonnei strains, which suggests the need for enhanced monitoring of antimicrobial resistance through WGS.

Background: Intestinal infectious diseases (IIDs) can impact the growth and development of children and weaken adults. This study aimed to establish a spatial panel model to analyze the relationship between factors such as population, economy and health resources, and the incidence of common IIDs. The objective was to provide a scientific basis for the formulation diseases prevention measures.

Background: Shigellosis continues to pose a significant public health problem in Africa; however, there is a lack of comprehensive knowledge regarding its prevalence, serogroup distribution, and antimicrobial resistance profiles. Therefore, the objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to determine the overall prevalence of Shigella, the distribution of species, and the patterns of antimicrobial resistance across Africa.
Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, a systematic search strategy was conducted using the PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus databases from January 31, 2024 to February 10, 2024.

Article Synopsis
- - Shigellosis is a serious diarrheal illness that causes significant health issues globally, often leading to severe complications.
- - There is a rising concern about multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) Shigella species, requiring ongoing monitoring of local resistance patterns to inform effective antibiotic treatment.
- - A study analyzing fecal samples from 2013 to 2023 shows a notable increase in resistance to important antibiotics like third-generation cephalosporins, azithromycin, and ciprofloxacin, as well as a rise in MDR and XDR strains.
