Abstract

Shigella sonnei has caused sexually transmitted enteric infections in men who have sex with men (MSM) in Vancouver. We recently observed a high rate of multidrug-resistant (MDR) S. sonnei bacteremia among persons experiencing homelessness (PEH). We aimed to describe the wider epidemiology, clinical outcomes, and genomics of S. sonnei infections over time.
