The bacteria also spreads during sexual contact that involves the anus, putting men who have sex with men at a higher risk of infection.

In the U.K., the spread of the disease through sex grew 15 percent faster annually from 2015-2020 compared to spread through other methods of transmission, according to a July study.

A few simple steps can prevent illness. Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds before you eat, engage in sexual activity or change a diaper, according to the clinic. Avoiding sexual contact for at least two weeks with anyone who has diarrhea or who recently recovered from diarrhea is also advised.

It's a warning not to have sex with people with diarrhea. Also, there are various interesting things about the disease when sexually transmitted vs not, for instance a study linked by the article theorizes that being sexually transmitted is why the disease is becoming resistant to medication:

It has been speculated that the acquisition of azithromycin resistance for Shigella moving into sexual transmission networks was driven by bystander resistance.9,10,12 This phenomenon refers to the evolution of antimicrobial resistance in an off-target organism following treatment for a co-infection. In the case of shigellosis-affected MSM in the UK, this was assumed to be driven by the overlapping epidemic of gonorrhoea, for which there is an intensive screen and treat programme.9,12 Our results are consistent with this hypothesis.

NEVER! Ass is my official house of worship 🙏

Trump: No! Everybody should kiss my ass! My beautiful great covfefe!

The sexually transmitted part is kinda just homophobia. The study they cite specifically sought to compare Men who have Sex with Men and everyone else, and came to the conclusion that the sexually transmitted shigella is far more likely among MSM than any other group and is an endemic sexually transmissible illness among MSM, and blames PrEP and PEP (almost exclusive to the gay and bisexual male community) along with higher treatment rates for other sexually transmitted illnesses like gonorrhea among MSM for the rise in resistant sexually transmitted shigella. They also concluded that sexually transmitted shigellosis among MSM is responsible for introducing more infections to the general public.

Background Shigellosis, caused by Shigella bacteria, is a leading cause of diarrhoeal disease globally. In the last two decades, Shigella circulation in high-income countries has expanded from being a sporadic travel-associated illness to also being an endemic sexually transmissible illness among men who have sex with men (MSM). We aimed to characterise the nature and drivers of this multimodal Shigella transmission in a high-income setting.

And they made a LOT of assumptions to get the results. Basically if they didn't have travel information on a sample, they assumed that it was a non-travel risk. And if they didn't have sex information on a sample, they assumed it was female.

Results S sonnei sequences (n=3514) were classified into three demographic groups based on their potential association with STN (appendix 2 tab 2). Isolates collected on or after March 1, 2020 (85 [2·3%] of 3642) and with missing data on sex (26 [0·7%] of 3557) or age (ten [0·3%] of 3531) were excluded. We assumed that cases with missing or unknown travel data (1795 [51·1%] of 3514) did not have recent high-risk travel10 and that cases with unknown information on sex were female (16 [0·5%] of 3514). We identified 1197 (34·1%) isolates as being from pMSM, 1048 (29·8%) as travel, and 1269 (36·1%) from non-pMSM (949 [75%] female and 320 [25%] male; table; figure 1A; appendix 1 p 8). The urban population centres of London and Manchester had higher proportions of pMSM cases than less populated regions (0·44 [95% CI 0·41–0·46] vs 0·27 [0·25–0·29], Pearson's χ2 test p<0·0001; figure 1B). Antimicrobial resistance against any one of the clinically relevant ciprofloxacin, azithromycin, and ceftriaxone antimicrobials, was highest among pMSM (69·4%, 831 of 1197) compared with antimicrobial resistance among non-pMSM (39·6%, 502 of 1269) and travel cases (48·9%, 512 of 1048; figure 1C; appendix 1 p 9; appendix 2 tab 2).

However, we also found that the intensified transmission among pMSM scaled not only with population size but was also attributable to a greater number of introductions into the population (ie, increased transmission chains). This greater importation of Shigella into sexual transmission networks might reflect increased network density (ie, greater number of sexual contacts among gay, bisexual, and other MSM24) or enhanced biological susceptibility of pMSM to Shigella, possibly associated with HIV (or both).5

In the coming years, it is likely that the spread of sexually transmissible drug-resistant shigellosis will increase. Particularly with the widespread availability of pre-exposure and post-exposure prophylaxis regimens in sexual health practice, including HIV and doxycycline pre-exposure and post-exposure prophylaxis, facilitating sexual behaviours and antimicrobial selection pressure, which can lead to increases in transmission and antimicrobial resistance emergence.18,32,33 It is also likely that our findings of rapid spatial spread and intensified transmission of Shigella among pMSM are occurring for the array of other enteric illnesses that are otherwise known to transmit sexually among pMSM, which might also be increasing.34

Fecal -oral transmission on cruise ships doesn't happen from eating ass. No one washes their hands any more, that's sooo 2020.

or even eating a girl out who had diarrhea.

can cause bloody diarrhea, dysentery, fever, vomiting, dehydration, stomach cramps, seizures, blood infections and in rare cases, death.

Especially when they're doing that..

It's being primarily spread by gay men, if you'd bother to read the posted link.
