A drug-resistant intestinal illness called Shigellosis is spreading in the US for the first time, according to a CDC report released today. The drug-resistant bacteria that causes the illness has infected 243 people across 32 US states and Puerto Rico between May 2014 and February 2015. As a result, the CDC recommends decreasing the use of antibiotics to treat mild forms of Shigellosis. If health care providers fail to reduce the number of cases, we could end up seeing "large, protracted outbreaks," the CDC report says.
