Shigella sonnei, an emerging multidrug-resistant sexually transmitted pathogen in Franche-Comté, France

Shigella sonnei (S. sonnei) is sometimes sexually transmitted. Men, who have sex with men (MSM), may have sexual behaviours different from heterosexual population, and thus may be at risk for S. sonnei infection. We describe three cases of multidrug-resistant S. sonnei in MSM (one HIV-infected patie...

description Shigella sonnei (S. sonnei) is sometimes sexually transmitted. Men, who have sex with men (MSM), may have sexual behaviours different from heterosexual population, and thus may be at risk for S. sonnei infection. We describe three cases of multidrug-resistant S. sonnei in MSM (one HIV-infected patient and two patients receiving pre-exposure prophylaxis against HIV). S. sonnei was isolated from stool specimens and all patients were successfully treated with parenteral third-generation cephalosporins following laboratory confirmation that the isolates were resistant to azithromycin. Two men (patients 2 and 3) were linked epidemiologically. These cases highlight the emergence of this pathogen and its association with some sexual behaviours among MSM in Franche-Comté, France.
