The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued a health advisory regarding extensively drug-resistant (XDR) Shigella infections in the U.S.

A recent study found LED treatment to be highly effective in controlling Shigella flexneri contamination of various foods and food surfaces.

An outbreak of Shigella in England in 2018 was most likely caused by coriander that was contaminated, according to researchers from the journal Epidemiology and Infection, who recently released a report on the issue.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and state and local partners investigated a multistate outbreak of foodborne illnesses associated with the consumption of raw oysters harvested in Estero El Cardon, Baja California Sur, Mexico between the dates of February 12, 2019 and April 9, 2019.
