Critical role of bacterial dissemination in an infant rabbit model of bacillary dysentery [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2019 The bacterial pathogen Shigella flexneri causes bacillary dysentery (bloody diarrhoea). Here, Yum et al. present an infant rabbit model of S. flexneri infection that recapitulates human disease symptoms and features bacterial dissemination as an ...
