Ciprofloxacin facilitates the transfer of XDR plasmids from commensal E. coli into epidemic fluoroquinolone-resistant Shigella sonnei

P. T. Pham, T. N. T. Nguyen, D. V. Thuy, H. C. The, F. Alcock, C. Boinett, H. N. D. Thanh, H. T. Tuyen, G. E. Thwaites, M. A. Rabaa, S. Baker

This study tracks the emergence of ciprofloxacin-resistant Shigella sonnei in Vietnam, showing that resistance plasmids are transferred from commensal E. coli via horizontal gene transfer, facilitated by ciprofloxacin use.
