Pathogenicity and virulence of Shigella sonnei: A highly drug-resistant pathogen of increasing prevalence

Virulence, 2023
Shigella spp. are the causative agent of shigellosis (or bacillary dysentery), a diarrhoeal disease characterized for the bacterial invasion of gut epithelial cells.

Spatiotemporal Frameworks for Infectious Disease Diffusion and Epidemiology [PDF]

, 2016
Emerging infectious diseases, and the resurgence of previously controlled infectious disease (e.g., malaria, tuberculosis), are a major focus for public health concern, as well as providing challenges for establishing aetiology and transmission.

Temperature and atmospheric pressure may be considered as predictors for the occurrence of bacillary dysentery in Guangzhou, Southern China

Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2014
Introduction The control of bacillary dysentery (BD) remains a big challenge for China. Methods Negative binomial multivariable regression was used to study relationships between meteorological variables and the occurrence of BD during the period of ...

Speciation and Antibiotic Susceptibility Pattern of Shigella isolates in a Rural Tertiary Care Hospital, Kolar

Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology, 2022
Shigellosis is the most important cause of bacillary dysentery. It’s a major public health problem. It is endemic in many developing countries resulting in a significant amount of mortality and morbidity.

Shigella sonnei infection of zebrafish reveals that O-antigen mediates neutrophil tolerance and dysentery incidence.

PLoS Pathogens, 2019
Shigella flexneri is historically regarded as the primary agent of bacillary dysentery, yet the closely-related Shigella sonnei is replacing S. flexneri, especially in developing countries.

The multivalent adhesion molecule SSO1327 plays a key role in Shigella sonnei pathogenesis : SSO1327 is an adhesin required for S. sonnei pathogenesis [PDF]

, 2015
Shigella sonnei is a bacterial pathogen and causative agent of bacillary dysentery. It deploys a type III secretion system to inject effector proteins into host epithelial cells and macrophages, an essential step for tissue invasion and immune evasion ...

Acquisition of a large virulence plasmid (pINV) promoted temperature-dependent virulence and global dispersal of O96:H19 enteroinvasive Escherichia coli

mBio, 2023
Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli (EIEC) and Shigella are closely related agents of bacillary dysentery. It is widely viewed that EIEC and Shigella species evolved from E.

Engineered Probiotics: The Next‐Generation Therapeutics to Combat Antibiotic‐Resistant Bacterial Infections

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
Engineered probiotics secretes fusion proteins which potentially neutralized the toxins secreted by other microbial communities. ABSTRACT On a global scale, the escalating burden of infectious diseases, predominantly attributed to bacterial pathogens, especially drug‐resistant strains, has progressed into a critical concern for clinical management and ...
