Altering Trends in the Dominance of Shigella flexneri Serotypes and Emergence of Serologically Atypical S. flexneri Strains in Dhaka, Bangladesh [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2001 ABSTRACT Of 469 recently isolated Shigella flexneri strains, 452 agglutinated with Shigella flexneri -specific monoclonal antibodies. Of these, 396 could be assigned to 10 of the currently recognized 15 serotypes, with S. flexneri 2b dominating (23.2%).

The type 3 secretion effector IpgD promotes S. flexneri dissemination. [PDF]
PLoS Pathog, 2022 The bacterial pathogen Shigella flexneri causes 270 million cases of bacillary dysentery worldwide every year, resulting in more than 200,000 deaths. S. flexneri pathogenic properties rely on its ability to invade epithelial cells and spread from cell to cell within the colonic epithelium.

Development of Shigella conjugate vaccines targeting Shigella flexneri 2a and S. flexneri 3a using a simple platform-approach conjugation by squaric acid chemistry. [PDF]
Vaccine, 2023 There is a need for vaccines effective against shigella infection in young children in resource-limited areas. Protective immunity against shigella infection targets the O-specific polysaccharide (OSP) component of lipopolysaccharide. Inducing immune responses to polysaccharides in young children can be problematic, but high level and durable responses

Impact of O-Acetylation on S. flexneri 1b and 2a O-Antigen Immunogenicity in Mice. [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2021 Shigellosis is a diarrheal disease caused prevalently by Shigella flexneri and S. sonnei and representing a major global health risk, particularly in developing countries. Bacterial O-antigen (OAg) is the primary target of the host immune response and modifications of its oligosaccharide units, including O-acetylation, are responsible for the ...

Key residues of S. flexneri OmpA mediate infection by bacteriophage Sf6. [PDF]
J Mol Biol, 2015 Many viruses, including bacteriophage, have the inherent ability to utilize several types of proteinaceous receptors as an attachment mechanism to infect cells, yet the molecular mechanisms that drive receptor binding have not been elucidated. Using bacteriophage Sf6 and its host, Shigella flexneri, we investigated how Sf6 utilizes outer membrane ...
