Phylogenetic Characterization Reveals Prevalent <named-content content-type="genus-species">Shigella flexneri</named-content> ST100 Clone in Beijing, China, 2005 to 2018
ABSTRACT Shigella flexneri is a major cause of bacillary dysentery in Beijing, China. The genetic features and population structure of locally circulating clones remained unclear. In this study, we sequenced the genomes of 93 S. flexneri isolates from patients in Beijing from 2005 to 2018. Phylogene...
