Global population structure and genotyping framework for genomic surveillance of the major dysentery pathogen, Shigella sonnei

J. Hawkey, K. Paranagama, K. S. Baker, R. J. Bengtsson, F.-X. Weill, N. R. Thomson, S. Baker, L. Cerdeira, Z. Iqbal, M. Hunt, D. J. Ingle, T. J. Dallman, C. Jenkins, D. A. Williamson, K. E. Holt

The paper develops a genomic framework and genotyping scheme for Shigella sonnei to identify resistance determinants from WGS data, revealing common genotypes linked to antimicrobial resistance and global spread.

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.
