The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a health advisory on Friday about an increase in the antibiotic-resistant bacteria called Shigella.
, Shigella is highly infectious and causes around 450,000 infections in the U.S. every year.
Usually, people recover without needing treatment, but those with severe cases or with underlying conditions that weaken the immune system may need to be treated with antibiotics. Last year, 5% of Shigella infections reported to the CDC were caused by the XDR strain of the bacteria. In 2015, there weren't any infections reported to the public health agency.
