Drug-resistant, sexually transmitted intestinal infection on the rise
Original: sexually transmitted diarrhea outbreak
Health reporters are warning about a stomach-churning intestinal infection spreading through sexual contact, driven by Shigella bacteria. Officials say the illness, which causes severe diarrhea, is increasingly resistant to standard antibiotic treatments, making cases harder to clear. The rise is being linked to transmission among men who have sex with men, prompting renewed public health attention.
Why now: New reporting on a drug-resistant, sexually transmitted form of shigella has drawn fresh attention to the outbreak.
