The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is warning about a rise in extensively drug-resistant cases of the bacterial infection Shigella, a major cause of inflammatory diarrhea.
The agency calls the new form of the stomach bug, which causes the diarrheal condition known as shigellosis, a “serious public health threat.” Evidence suggests the illness is spreading among gay and bisexual men in particular, apparently through sexual contact, both in the U.S. and abroad.
The CDC held a call Tuesday with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and the U.K. Health Security Agency to alert doctors about the spread of a form of the bacterium that is resistant to all typically recommended antibiotic treatments.
“We do not have all the answers today,” Dr. Louise Francois Watkins, a medical officer at the CDC’s National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases, said on the call. The agency, she said, could make no official recommendations for antibiotic alternatives.
Shigella, which is highly infectious, spreads when infected fecal matter enters the mouth or the nose, including through sexual activity or because of poor hand-washing after diaper changes, unsanitary food handling or swimming in contaminated water. The infection is typically seen in young children.

The CDC should just close up shop and go home....the People would be better served.
They have ZERO credibility,,,nada,,,,,none.
Nobody believes anything they say anymore....they blew it all away.
Another disease that should wipe out poofters but will not.
Pfizer and Moderna must have an mRNA Shigella vaccine in the works and getting ready to spring it on us.
God will not be mocked. His written word tells of of the perils and perversity of their sins, yet they don't listen. Now God is knocking them off. AIDS, Monkey pox, now this? It isn't coincidence or happenstance.
“gay and bisexual men in particular.” Gee whaddasuhprise.

As I suspected a couple of days ago. Another monkeypox issue.
Is it time to curtail their rights, their jobs, and their ability to function in society for 'public safety'? After all, the last three years should be the model.
So Democrats, then.
I implore liberal, progressive, “tolerant” churches who teach that sodomy is blessed by God, to call on Him to remove all these inconvenient impediments standing in the way of God fearing gays to “love” each other.
Yep.
My Poofter and Rump-Ranger sympathy meter is way in the NEGATIVE zone....
No Lance, it’s not a chocolate covered banana.
AIDS, Monkeypox, Shigella, Syphilis, etc.
Somebody is sending sodomites a lesson.
Queers not only act as prime vectors for the spread of diseases, especially for diseases which were formerly perfectly under control or even WIPED OUT (see syphilis) in industrialized societies, but they provide a perfect breeding ground for the proliferation of drug-resistant mutations.
Queers are a biological hazard for society. They are literally the AIDS in a society.
Hey. Post #12 was sarcasm!!
