On Friday, the CDC issued an ominous advisory about the rise of an “extensively drug resistant” stomach bug in the United States.
The health advisory, which was issued mid-day Friday, warned about a spike in shigellosis across the United States.
While shigellosis and the Shigella infections have been known for some time now, it was only recently that drug-resistant (XDR) strains began popping up on the CDC’s radar.
