Accessory genome dynamics and structural variation of Shigella from persistent infections

R. J. Bengtsson, T. J. Dallman, C. Jenkins, H. Allen, M. D. Silva, G. Stenhouse, C. V. Pulford, R. J. Bennett, K. S. Baker

This study examines accessory genome dynamics and structural variations in Shigella isolates from persistent infections in men who have sex with men, finding less variation in persistent carriage compared to reinfection and evidence of antimicrobial resistance acquisition.
