ssrA is dispensible in S. flexneri when a second copy of the gene is provided.
Diagnostic PCR reactions were used to verify deletion of ssrA in S. flexneri ssrA::kan pSsrA. The expected product size for wild-type ssrA is 0.6 kb and for ssrA::kan is 1.7 kb. A control reaction using genomic DNA from wild-type S.

Shigellosis, a bacterial infection marked by dysentery, is typically a self-limiting disease and can be effectively managed with oral rehydration. However, antibiotics may help reduce the severity and duration of Shigellosis despite rising antimicrobial ...

Type 3 secretion systems (T3SSs) enable bacterial virulence by translocating virulence proteins (effectors) into host cells. Shigella flexneri requires T3SS to invade and to spread between cells in the colon. To spread, S.

[Intergeneric antigenic relation of Hafnia and Shigella (S. flexneri and S. boydii) bacteria].
The O-antigenic relationships between Hafnia and Shigellae (S. flexneri and S. boydii) have been studied. For the first time the presence of antigenic relationship between Hafnia O19, O4, O9, O33, O5, O16, O12, O7, O29, O28, O10, O32, O24, O25, O18, O1, O13, O3, O22, O30, O37, O14, O11, O25, O23, O21, O28, O16, O24, O8, O26, O27 and S. flexneri la, lb,

arfA accounts for phenotypic differences produced by deleting ssrA in E. coli and S. flexneri.
(A) arfA (blue) in Escherichia coli K-12 MG1655 and the corresponding locus in Shigella flexneri 2a 2457T, aligned using EcoCyc Pathway Tools (SRI International). (B) Diagnostic PCR reactions of genomic DNA prepared from wild-type S. flexneri (lane 1), S.

IFNγ inhibits the replication of S. flexneri in the host cytoplasm.
(A) Growth of S. flexneri in MEFs that were unstimulated or stimulated with IFNγ for 24 hours prior to infection. (B) Quantification of S. flexneri invasion at 1 hpi. (C) Quantification of S. flexneri vacuole escape. Unstimulated or IFNγ-stimulated cells

Most of the Shigella flexneri O-specific serotypes result from O-acetyl and/or glucosyl groups added to a common O-repeating unit of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) molecule. The genes involved in acetylation and/or glucosylation of S.

Presence of antigenic and specific heat shock protein(s) of shigella flexneri and shigella sonnei [PDF]
Shigellosis caused by Shigella spp. is a public health concern in developing countries. Due to global emergence of drug resistance to Shigella spp., the choice of antimicrobial agents to treat shigellosis is limited.

Characterization of type 1 fimbriae production in derivatives of the S. flexneri strain M90T.
Representative electron microscopy pictures of derivatives of S. flexneri strain M90T harboring pACYC184 (vector) or pSH2 (carrying the fim operon) are shown in panels A and B, respectively. Scale bar, 1 μm.
