What is Shigella flexneri Outbreak in South Wales about?

In February 2023, a Shigella flexneri outbreak linked to Takeaway A in South Wales resulted in 52 reported cases of gastrointestinal illness. A case-control study revealed that coleslaw was the primary food item associated with the outbreak, with a significant number of cases having consumed it on the same day. The investigation suggests a food handler may be the source of contamination, highlighting the need to consider S. flexneri in foodborne outbreak assessments in the UK.
