Delhi Belly comes to America: Drug-resistant Shigella stomach bug that causes diarrhea and nausea spreads across the country
Greetings,
Delhi Belly comes to America: Drug-resistant Shigella stomach bug that causes diarrhea and nausea spreads across the country
Cases have been traced to ill travelers from India and Dominican Republic
Symptoms include diarrhea, stomach cramps and nausea
Sometimes antibiotics are prescribed for more serious cases
However strain has become increasingly resistant to drugs

Health officials say a drug-resistant mutant super-strain of a nasty stomach bug has made its way into the U.S. and is spreading – already causing more than 200 illnesses since last May.
Shigella infections, otherwise known as ‘Delhi Belly’ or ‘Montezuma’s revenge’ were traced to people who had recently traveled to the Dominican Republic, India or other countries.
The symptoms include diarrhea, stomach cramps and nausea.
Outbreaks of the Shigella bacteria are not unusual, but this strain is resistant to the antibiotic most commonly prescribed for adults.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released the report Thursday. The superbug sickened at least 243 people, in 32 states and Puerto Rico.
Sometimes antibiotics are prescribed, especially for more serious cases.
CDC Director Tom Frieden said in a statement: ‘These outbreaks show a troubling trend in Shigella infections in the United States.
‘Drug-resistant infections are harder to treat and because Shigella spreads so easily between people, the potential for more – and larger – outbreaks is a real concern.
‘We’re moving quickly to implement a national strategy to curb antibiotic resistance because we can’t take for granted that we’ll always have the drugs we need to fight common infections.
Scientists unlocked the genetic code of bacteria grown from a soldier who died of dysentery in World War I.
Their findings revealed a superbug already resistant to penicillin and other antibiotics decades before they were in common use…..More Here
