Evolutionary histories and antimicrobial resistance in Shigella flexneri and Shigella sonnei in Southeast Asia

Hao Chung The et al. analyze 1,804 Shigella genome sequences from organisms isolated in four Southeast Asian countries over three decades to study the evolution of both S. flexneri and S. sonnei.
