Many frequent international travelers have their doctor prescribe Cipro or other antibiotics when they travel out of the country for any length of time. Having this along won’t be helping against a new strain of bacteria according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). This superbug is finding its way into the United States via international travelers and is spreading. Shigella, according to the CDC, has become resistant to the antibiotic Cipro.
Shigella infection is an intestinal disease caused by a family of bacteria known as shigella. The symptoms which typically show up one to two days after exposure include diarrhea (often containing blood or mucus), abdominal cramps and fever. An additional challenge is some carriers have no symptoms after they’ve been infected with shigella but they are still contagious.
