Assessment on the burden of bacillary dysentery associated with floods during 2005–2009 in Zhengzhou City, China, using a time-series analysis

Journal of Infection and Public Health, 2018
Background: We aimed to quantify the impact of few times floods on bacillary dysentery in Zhengzhou during 2005–2009. Methods: The Spearman correlation test was applied first to examine the lagged effects of floods on monthly morbidity of bacillary ...

Mechanisms of bacillary dysentery: lessons learnt from infant rabbits

Gut Microbes, 2020
The bacterial pathogen Shigella flexneri causes more than 250 million cases of bacillary dysentery (blood in stool) every year across the world. This human-specific disease is characterized by profuse bloody diarrhea, dramatic ulceration of the colonic ...

Shigella sonnei genome sequencing and phylogenetic analysis indicate recent global dissemination from Europe [PDF]

, 2012
Shigella are human-adapted Escherichia coli that have gained the ability to invade the human gut mucosa and cause dysentery1,2, spreading efficiently via low-dose fecal-oral transmission3,4. Historically, S.
