Abstract In 2023, Philadelphia reported an outbreak of Shigella flexneri infections. We evaluated all patients hospitalized in our health system with shigellosis during this outbreak. Sixty-seven patients were hospitalized, and 21 (31.3%) were bacteremic. Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole was the only antibiotic with reliable susceptibility. Most patients had housing insecurity and opioid use disorder.
