Here, we report for the first time a waterborne outbreak ofShigella sonnei in China in 2015. Eleven multidrug-resistant (MDR)S. sonnei isolates were recovered, showing high resistance to azithromycin and third-generation cephalosporins in particular, due to anmph (A)- andbla CTX-M-14 -harboring IncB/O/K/Z group transmissible plasmid of 104,285 kb in size. Our study highlights the potential prevalence of the MDR outbreak ofS. sonnei in China and its further dissemination worldwide with the development of globalization.
