In 2017, the Center for Disease Research and Policy and the University of Minnesota reported in an article entitled ''Shigella in gay men growing more antibiotic resistant'':
{{Cquote|Nearly a quarter of Shigella isolates tested in New York City showed decreased susceptibility or resistance to recommended antibiotics, and most of those infections were among gay men, researchers reported today in Emerging Infectious Diseases.
For the study, investigators from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene performed susceptibility testing on 978 Shigella isolates submitted to New York public health laboratories from March 2013 through May 2015; 295 of those isolates were linked to an outbreak and analyzed separately, and 683 were defined as sporadic.<ref>[http://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2017/01/shigella-gay-men-growing-more-antibiotic-resistant ''Shigella in gay men growing more antibiotic resistant''], Center for Disease Research and Policy and the University of Minnesota, 2017</ref>}}
